SUMMARY:

Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops for food security and the global economy. Its performance indicates the need for improved management practices to increase production efficiency and profitability. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effects of combining different biological products that stimulate plant development on corn crop agronomic performance. The experimental trial was conducted under field conditions at the Experimental Area of the Federal University of Agreste de Pernambuco, in the municipality of Garanhuns, Pernambuco, from May 14 to July 2, 2025. Three biological products with distinct functions were used: phosphorus solubilizer, growth promoter, and biological control agent, applied singly and in combination, in addition to a mineral control. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with eight treatments and four replicates. Plant physiological and biometric variables were evaluated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, and a mean comparison test was applied. The mineral control resulted in greater root biomass accumulation and chlorophyll levels, as well as improved physiological efficiency. Among the biological products, Biocompost alone stood out for promoting greater leaf area and physiological efficiency, similar to the control. The combinations of microorganisms showed variable effects, suggesting possible interactions that may limit their performance.
