Inoculation and co-inoculation of lettuce and arugula hydroponically influence nitrogen metabolism, plant growth, nutrient acquisition and photosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of single and combined inoculations of A. brasilense, B. subtilis and P. fluorescens on lettuce and arugula grown in a hydroponic system. The study was carried out in a greenhouse and was designed in randomized blocks with five replications. The treatments consisted of inoculation with A. brasilense, B. subtilis and P. fluorescens and co-inoculation with A. brasilense + B. subtilis, A. brasilense + P. fluorescens, B. subtilis + P. fluorescens and A. brasilense + B. subtilis + P. fluorescens via nutrient solution. An increase in the length and fresh mass of the shoot and leaf chlorophyll concentrations of arugula and lettuce was observed under co-inoculations of A. brasilense + P. fluores
