ABSTRACT
Brazil has a long history of research with rhizobia and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Currently, the use of bio-based products in Brazil, containing microorganisms that are effective in promoting plant growth through various mechanisms, is already a consolidated reality for the cultivation of several crops of agricultural interest. This is due to the excellent results obtained over many years of research, which contributed to reinforce the use of rhizobia and PGPR by farmers. The high quality of the products offered, containing elite strains, allows the reduction and prevention in the use of mineral fertilization, contributing to low-cost and sustainable agriculture. Currently, research has turned its efforts in the search for new products that further increase the efficiency of those already available on the market and for new formulations or inoculation strategies that contribute to greater productivity and efficiency of these products. In this review, the history of biological products for main crops of agricultural interest and the new biotechnologies and research available in the agricultural market are discussed.
