The application of biostimulants in agriculture represents an environmentally friendly alternative while increasing agricultural production. aims the study were to develop solid based on five rhizobacteria native Benin’s soils and evaluate their efficacy growth biomass yield maize under greenhouse conditions ferrallitic ferruginous soils. Clay peat used as a conservation binder for preparation biostimulants. These binders alone or combined different formulations with flour sucrose. 10 g applied at sowing pots containing kilograms sterilised soil. experimental design was completely randomised block 24 treatments three replicates. results obtained showed significant improvements (P Pseudomonas putida biostimulant compared control. On other hand, use + syringae more beneficial plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, above-ground below-ground plants influence this improved by 83.06%, 44.57%, 102.94%, 86.84% 42.68%, respectively, Therefore, these confirm that Rhizobacteria express potential through formulated maize. can later be producers improve crop productivity sustainable agriculture.
