Herbaspirillum seropedicae is a betaproteobacteria which is an endophytic diazotroph and forms nitrogen-fixing associations with maize ("Zea mays"), rice ("Oryza sativa"), sorghum ("Sorghum bicolor"), sugar cane ("Saccharum officinarum"), bananas ("Musa") and pineapple ("Ananas comosus"). "H. seropedicae" is a potential nitrogen biofertilizer. Studies have shown that rice with "H. seropedicae" inoculated increases the yield to an equivalent of 40 kg N/ha.
