Treatments consisted of four levels of seed ageing (0 (control), 3, 6 and 9 days at 41°C and 90-100% relative humidity) and bacterial inoculations at four levels (Control (no bacteria), Rhizobium oligominusarum, Pseudomonas putida and co-inoculation by Rhizobium oligominusarum and Pseudomonas putida). Results showed that application of bacterial inoculants significantly increased grain yield and yield components of common bean compared to non-inoculated plants. However, the highest values of these traits were observed with co-inoculation by Rhizobium oligominusarum and Pseudomonas putida. Results showed that interaction between ageing and bacteria inoculation was significant for 100 grain weight.
