This review presents a critical and comprehensive analysis of the developments in environmental and physiological studies related to Azospirillum interactions with plants based on information published between 1990 and 1996. It was designed as an update of a previous review with a similar scope. Apart from an update, this review emphasizes the central issues of Azospirillum research today, such as coinoculation with other microorganisms and hormonal studies, shows the less researched areas, and proposes possible avenues for the exploitation of this bacterium in areas other than agriculture.Key words: Azospirillum, bacterial inoculation, plant–bacteria interaction, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, rhizosphere bacteria.

This review presents a critical and comprehensive documentation and analysis of the developments in agricultural, environmental, molecular, and physiological studies related to Azospirillum cells, and to Azospirillum interactions with plants, based solely on information published between 1997 and 2003. It was designed as an update of previous reviews (Bashan and Levanony 1990; Bashan and Holguin 1997a), with a similar scope of interest. Apart from an update and critical analysis of the current knowledge, this review focuses on the central issues of Azospirillum research today, such as, (i) physiological and molecular studies as a general model for rhizosphere bacteria; (ii) co-inoculation with other microorganisms; (iii) hormonal studies and re-consideration of the nitrogen contribution by the bacteria under specific environmental conditions; (iv) proposed Azospirillum as a non-specific plant-growth-promoting bacterium; (v) re-introduction of the "Additive Hypothesis," which suggests involvement of multiple mechanisms employed by the bacteria to affect plant growth; (vi) comment on the less researched areas, such as inoculant and pesticide research; and (vii) proposes possible avenues for the exploitation of this bacterium in environmental areas other than agriculture.Key words: Azospirillum, plant–bacteria interaction, plant-growth-promoting bacteria, PGPB, PGPR, rhizosphere bacteria.
