Soy is known for its sensibility to pedologic and atmospheric drought, the negative effects on plant growth and fruition being stronger at very high temperatures. During 2016 and 2017, in Recas, we have observed the effect of seed bacterization on plant growth and development and on the production. 2016 was, from a climatic point of view, very favourable for soy beans, the precipitation regime being optimal for the plant. 2017 was a less favourable year, due to precipitation insufficiency associated with very high temperatures. In 2017, the production decreased with about 85%, as compared to the one obtained in 2016. The bacterization effect, though strong in 2016, was as good as non-existent in 2017.
