There was a mistake in Table 3 and Table 4 as published. The unit for grain P content was incorrectly reported as g kg−1.

Table 3.

Effects of single inoculation by B119 or B2084 strains on grain P content and maize yield during three seasons (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) at Santo Antônio de Goiás and Sete Lagoas, Brazil.
