The pressure on agroecosystems intensifies with the increasing demand for agricultural products and the growing public demand for high-quality food, more sustainable production systems, and lower environmental impact practices that preserve biodiversity and societal well-being. This scenario presents a major challenge for the global agricultural sector, as the negative impacts of food production for a growing population still cause environmental and ecological imbalances, putting the sustainability of global natural resources at risk [3]. Thus, environmental degradation caused by anthropogenic activities has resulted in significant declines in productivity and soil capacity to fulfill its ecological functions [4]. Soil degradation involves changes in its physical, chemical, and biological properties, such as reduced nutrient levels, organic matter depletion, and alterations in soil density, porosity, structure, aggregate stability, and infiltration capacity [5]. The lack of soil cover or inadequate coverage for prolonged periods has been one of the main factors contributing to soil exhaustion and degradation. In this context, the No-Tillage System (NTS) is a conservationist management practice that increases the volume and quality of soil cover. This system is based on three fundamental principles: no soil disturbance, crop rotation, and permanent soil cover with straw. Therefore, for the success of this system, crop rotation should be based on crops that provide a high volume and variety of crop residues, compensating for the rapid decomposition of organic material in tropical and subtropical climates [6]. To enhance straw production in areas under NTS, the cultivation of grasses in crop rotation is recommended. In this regard, the adoption of Integrated Crop-Livestock-Forestry Systems (ICLFSs) presents a successful alternative, as they combine different agricultural activities, such as livestock, crops, and forestry, in the same area, either in intercropping or rotation. These systems benefit from the synergies among activities through interactions that promote the more efficient use of available biotic and abiotic factors, increasing crop productivity and profitability while contributing to soil quality improvements, mainly due to the large volume of plant residues left by various system components [7]. In addition to ICLFSs under NTS, the inoculation of crops with Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) contributes to increased productivity. PGPRs represent a vast group of microorganisms that associate with plants without causing productivity losses and promote crop growth and development through direct and/or indirect mechanisms. In recent decades, due to the growing interest in and concern for more sustainable and ecological agriculture, there has been an increased search for production practices that reduce mineral fertilizer use, such as inoculation with PGPR [8].
