Managed Experiments
Evaluation of P rates & rhizobial
inoculant strains on faba bean (Vicia
fabae L.) in western Amhara
Objectives
• to select the best performing Rhizobial
strain for faba bean production in
western Amhara,
• to determine optimum rate of P
fertilizer for faba bean production in
western Amhara.

& from each plot after harvest from
depths of 0-15, 15-30 & 30-60 cm,
– Soil analyses for N & P i.e., NO3-N on
all 3 depths & for P on the 0-15 cm,
– Texture (0-20cm),
– pH,
– Ec (ds/m),
– CEC (meq/100g),
– OM
M & M cont.
• Meteorological data during the season:
– air temperature (oc),
