Abstract
Objective: The objective was to evaluate the effect of the application of micronutrients, amino acids, fungi and bacteria on development and productivity parameters in corn crops. Theoretical Framework: Corn is one of the most important crops for food and energy production in Brazil and worldwide. Given the growing demand for more sustainable and productive agricultural practices, integrated management with micronutrients, amino acids, fungi and beneficial bacteria has been gaining prominence. These practices combine soil correction and nutrition with strengthening plant metabolism, increasing production efficiency and reducing dependence on chemical inputs. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises a scientific field study with a quantitative approach. Results and Discussion: The use of amino acids, fungi and bacteria via seed treatment favored the growth and development of corn and presented superior results in inducing rooting and may increase corn productivity. Research Implications: The practical implications of this research are discussed, providing practical parameters on how the results can be applied in the field with returns to the rural producer. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the academic community by highlighting the originality of the research, whether through innovative approach, new methodologies and/or practical use. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the need for more research in this area with sustainable practices.
