Brussels sprouts production in Sonora desert, Mexico, is a crop that becomes attractive to farmers. It has a significant response to nitrogen fertilization. However, large quantities cause bases of vain stems and even the presence of flowers, in addition fertilizers aggravates the problem of saline intrusion. With the finality to give an alternative solution to the above mentioned, is the application of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). With the goal to enlarge the knowledge of the use of biofertilizers as an alternative agro-ecological on the establishment of Brussels sprouts, this research consisted in evaluate the effect of Azospirillum halopraeferens and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, complementing the soil fertilization in yield Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera “Gustus”, under three saline conditions (0, 0.6 and 0.12 M NaCl) under field conditions. The results showed that var. Gustus with the co-inoculation with both bacteria at salinity showed significant values in the variable yield production in comparison with control treatments. It is suggested that subsequent studies include related factors such as the evaluation of other varieties, sowing of dates and the limiting conditions of water resources, in addition to evaluating the effect of salinity with the use of seawater and the inoculation of plant growth promoting bacteria.
