Sugarcane cultivation plays a crucial role in the global agricultural economy, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Diazotrophic bacteria, capable of nitrogen fixation, are significant for enhancing the growth and yield of sugarcane. This study aims to explore the intricate interactions between diazotrophic bacteria and sugarcane, highlighting their impact on plant growth, yield, and agronomic practices. Various types of diazotrophic bacteria and their nitrogen fixation mechanisms are discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of their functions. The colonization and symbiosis processes, along with other plant growth-promoting activities, are examined to understand their contributions to sugarcane health. This study also delves into the enhancements in nutrient uptake, root development, biomass, and overall plant vigor resulting from these interactions. Statistical data on yield increases and improvements in sugarcane juice quality underscore the economic benefits of employing diazotrophic bacteria. Agronomic practices such as soil management, irrigation, crop rotation, and the use of biofertilizers are analyzed for their influence on diazotrophic activity. Advances in genetic engineering, inoculation techniques, and molecular approaches are highlighted as significant strides in research and technology. Despite these advancements, challenges to widespread adoption remain, necessitating further research and policy support. In summary, this study underscores the pivotal role of diazotrophic bacteria in sustainable sugarcane agriculture, advocating for continued research and policy initiatives to harness their full potential.
