Abstract
The experiment used a randomized block design with four treatments (T0-T3) and four replicates for each maize (DMRESR-Y and EV99-MRP, improved seed of maize varieties are available at the National Agricultural Research Centre; CNRA of Côte d'Ivoire) and soybean variety. Of note, the soybean seeds were purchased from the local market under the common name of yellow soybeans and green soybeans. Each 4 × 4 m plot contained four 4 m long rows, with 75 cm between rows and 40 cm between plants (two per hill after thinning). Treatments were T0, control (no P. fluorescence or foliar fertilizer); T1, seeds inoculated with P. fluorescence; T2, seeds inoculated with P. fluorescence plus foliar biofertilizer; and T3, foliar fertilizer only. The plots were maintained with monthly weeding and relied solely on rainfall. Twenty samples per treatment and replicate were collected to evaluate the growth, yield, and dry biomass for statistical analysis.

Description of the data and file structure
For the present survey, both maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (G. max) cereal seeds have been cured by (i) rhizobacteria P. fluorescens exclusively, (ii) foliar bio fertilizer only, (iii) rhizobacteria P. fluorescens + foliar bio-fertiliser as well as without any rhizobacteria and/or foliar bio-fertilizer treatments. The experimental sites were organized in different plots based on the type of rhizobacteria and/or foliar bio-fertilizer treatments. Then, (i) treatments T0: plots planted without rhizobacteria (P. fluorescens) and without foliar bio-fertilizer; (ii) treatment T1: subdivision sown with the seed inoculated with rhizobacteria (P. fluorescens) only; (iii) treatment T2: land sown with the seed inoculated with rhizobacteria (P. fluorescens) bio-fertilizer and foliar fertilizer; and treatment (iv) T3: subdivision with foliar bio-fertilizer only have been evaluated for growth parameters of both maize and soybean cereal crops.
Four features were evaluated during the growth phase (i) height of the plant, (ii) number of leaves, (iii) length of leaves and (iv) diameter of the collar which was measured sing an electronic sliding caliper. The growth parameters were evaluated using a centimeter as scale of measurement (cm). Both maize and soybean plants heights were measured from the ground level to the end of the longest petiole, and leaves number per plants was counted weekly.

Description: Maize and Soybean seeds and/or crops were under: (i) Soil standard condition (T0 treatment), (ii) Rhizobacteria (Treatment T1), (iii) Rhizobacteria + Foliar bio-fertilizer (treatment T2) and (iv) Foliar bio-fertilizer (treatment T3) treatments.
Variables
The following characteristics were evaluated during the growth phase: (i) plant height, (ii) number of leaves, (iii) leaf length, and (iv) crown diameter measured using electronic calipers. Growth parameters are expressed in centimeters (cm). The plant height was measured from the ground to the tip of the longest petiole. The number of leaves per plant was counted every week.
