Maize Yield and Phosphorus Uptake Data from Bacillus Inoculation Field Trials in Brazil

Field trial data from five crop seasons in Brazil assessing the impact of Bacillus megaterium B119 and Bacillus subtilis B2084 inoculation on maize yield and phosphorus acquisition. The dataset includes results from single and co-inoculation treatments across two distinct soil types in Sete Lagoas-MG and Santo Antônio de Goiás-GO. The research led to the validation and registration of the first Brazilian Bacillus-based inoculant for maize.

Use Cases

• Modeling maize yield response to bacterial inoculation based on field trial results mentioned in the description
• Analyzing phosphorus content correlation with grain yield across multiple seasons
• Comparing the efficacy of single versus co-inoculation strategies for plant growth promotion
• Studying soil type effects on phosphate-solubilizing bacteria performance

Strengths

• Data spans five crop seasons, providing multi-year observations
• Results from two distinct experimental areas in Brazil (Sete Lagoas-MG and Santo Antônio de Goiás-GO)
• Includes comparisons of single inoculation and co-inoculation treatments
• Licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open reuse

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Dataset size is 15.4 KB, indicating a very limited scope
