The ability of maize (corn, Zea mays L.) to support bacterial nitrogen fixation in or on maize roots has been increased, through screening and selection. Isotopic N fixed from (15)N(2) was found on the roots. The nitrogen-fixing association was found in germplasm from tropical maize, but this activity can be transferred to maize currently used in midwestern United States agriculture.
