Abstract

This on farm experiment was conducted at Mortina Jiru district, Amhara Region, Ethiopia during the main rainy seasons of 2016/17 and 2017/18. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different commercial and new rhizobia strains and to evaluate the effect phosphorus on nodulation and grain yield of faba bean in the area. The experiment comprised of three Rhizobial strain (EAL 110, 1035 and 1018), one Phosphorus level (10 kg P ha) and control (with-out inoculation and P application) which were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The analysis of variance showed that except nodule size in 2017/18, all the tested nodulation parameters were not affected by the treatment. Plant height which was obtained from both years was significantly affected by the treatment. In 2016/17, significantly the highest plant height (86.4 cm) was observed from combined application of EAL 110 strain with 10 kg P ha-1. The lowest plant height (78.4 cm) was observed with inoculation of the seed of faba bean with strain 1018. In 2016/17 the highest plant height was observed with sole application of strain 1035. Number of pod per plant also responded for the treatment. In 2016/17, significantly the highest number of pod per plant (21.4) was observed with combined application of strain EAL 110. In 2017/18, significantly the highest number of pod per plant (26.8) was observed with combined application of EAL 110 with 10 kg P. The analysis of variance also showed that, Seed yield exhibited a significant response to the treatment. In 2016/7, significantly the highest seed yield (2537 kg ha-1) was observed with combined application of EAL 110 with 50 kg ha-1. The lowest seed yield (1931.6 kg ha-1) was observed from the control plot. In 2017/18, significantly the highest seed yield was observed with inoculation of the seed of faba bean with strain EAL 110 alone. Hence, Rhizobium inoculation with strain EAL with 10 kg P ha-1 could be recommended for faba bean production at the experimental locations in Mortina Jiru district.
