 In: Plant and Soil v. 66, no. 2, p. 217-22383-851489Summary: Three field experiments were conducted on 10 cultivars of winter wheat and 4 cultivars of spring wheat to estimate the growth promoting effect of Azospirillum brasilense under varying nitrogen doses. Independent of cultivar selection or nitrogen dose a highly significant yield increase could be observed in winter wheat: strains S631 and SpBr14 increased the average grain yield with 9.14% and 14.82% respectively. When the yield components were studied a coinciding increase in ear density could be demonstrated of resp. 10.57% and 13.55%. Less significant results were obtained with spring wheat although in one experiment strain SpBr14 significantly
