Abstract

Among the major pulse crop produced in Ethiopia, Faba bean is the which widely produced in the highlands and midlands of Ethiopia. In the poor agricultural systems of Ethiopia, many farmers of the country could not use chemical fertilizers in the production of faba bean. In addition, the only using of chemical fertilizer has many side effects on human health, environment and also many small holder farmers in country could not buy and use the chemical fertilizer because of its escalating cost. Therefore instead of chemical fertilizer (urea), farmers can use the cost effective and environmentally sound option biological Nitrogen Fixing (BNF) Rhizobial biofertilizer. This study therefore, conducted to evaluate the effective strain of Rhizobial biofertilizer for the production of faba bean in 2021 at Horro district, Oromia Region, Ethioia. The results from this experiment shown, significantly (P ≤ 0.05) difference from the treatments on weight of biomass and grain yields. The both maximum Biomass yield (17,966Kg/ha) and grain yield (3587.73Kg/ha) were gained from the treatment of 1Kg/ha of EAL‑1017 and 50kg ha−1 of NPS. Therefore this experiment gave the conclusion of using Rhizobial biofertilizer strain of FB‑EAL 1017 (1Kg/ha) with 50 Kg/ha of chemical fertilizer (NPS) enhances the production of faba bean comparing to other strains at the district.
