In this study, the effect of a living bacteria containing biofertilizer was investigated on the germination and dry matter production of maize seedlings in germination tests. The biofertilizer was applied in the concentrations 1 ml L-1 and 3.5 ml L-1. Seed and filter paper treatments were used in the experiments, completed with autoclaved biofertilizer treatment. Germination and weight of shoots and roots were evaluated. It was observed that the seed-and filter paper treatments with biofertilizer significantly increased - by more then 20% - the numbers of the germinated seeds in comparison the untreated control. The dry weight of the shoot and root was higher by more than 7% than the control in the case of treatments with biofertilize
