Currently with the constant demand for increased productivity and successive increasing in the prices of fertilizers, especially nitrogen, new technologies are being studied. One that has been highlighted due to low cost of deployment and promising results is the biological nitrogen fixation in grasses. The aim of this work was to study the effect of inoculation of diazotrophic bacteria Herbaspirillum seropedicae strain ZAE94 in two maize genotypes selected for the climatic conditions and low fertility soils, and the ability to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers, as well as increasing crop productivity. To this end, two experiments were implanted, one during the off-season and another in the harvesting of agricultural year 2012/2013. In both experiments the maize hybrids (BRS 1030 and BRS 1060) were inoculated with the ZAE94 strain, following the experimental design of a randomized block design with a factorial 2 x 2 x 3, comprising the inoculation, genotype and fertilization respectively, with six replicates. The variables analyzed were the average yield, weight of 1000 grains, content and accumulation of nitrogen in the grain and nitrogen use efficiency of fertilizer. The results were tested for normality and homogeneity, were subjected to analysis of variance, and when significant treatments, these were subjected to medium testing, using test t at 10%. For all variables the hybrid BRS 1030 was greater than the BRS 1060. For the inoculation factor and in the off-season, it was observed a triple interaction for weight of 1,000 grains; and when the inoculation is associated with the highest nitrogen rate it promoted an increase in the productivity of the hybrid BRS 1060. In harvesting period, regardless of genotype and fertilizer used, it was observed that inoculating the seed of hybrids was always better than without inoculation. For efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer usage it was observed that, in general, the BRS 1030 was more efficient than the BRS 1060.
