<i>Pseudomonas</i> sp. G31 and <i>Azotobacter</i> sp. PBC2 Changed Structure of Bacterial Community and Modestly Promoted Growth of Oilseed Rape.

ABSTRACT: Oilseed rape is one of the most important oilseed crops, requiring high levels of nitrogen fertilization. Excessive nitrogen use, however, leads to numerous negative environmental impacts, spurring the search for sustainable, environmentally friendly alternatives to reduce reliance on mineral nitrogen fertilizers. One promising approach involves plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), which can support oilseed rape growth and lessen the need for traditional nitrogen fertilizers. This study evaluates a selected microbial consortium comprising bacterial isolates obtained from soil: Pseudomonas sp. G31 and Azotobacter sp. PBC2 (P1A). The applied PGPB significantly increased seed yield (a 27.12% increase) and, in the initial phase of the study, reduced the ammonium nitrogen conte
