Plant-associated microbiota can enormously influence on plant traits. Manipulation of these microbial communities holds great potential as an effective way to improve crops, while contributing to a more environmentally benign agriculture. The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a soybean inoculant under field conditions. The inoculant was composed of by two bacterial strains previously characterized in our laboratory as PGPR (Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp.) and a commercial strain of Bradyrhizobiumjaponicum
