Problem• Low productivity due to N and P deficiency, P fixing acid soils• High nutrient depletions• High cost of fertilizers

General objectiveDevelop integrated nutrient management practices to increase productivity through promoting legume crop genotypes with enhanced BNF, P use efficiency and greater productivity

Study area

Materials and Methods

Specific objectives• Determine nutrient depletion • Quantify BNF for faba bean• Identify genotypes for positive soil N balance, P use efficiency and grain yield potential• Assess extent of root colonization by mycorrhiza • Investigate mechanisms of enhanced P use efficiency• Evaluate rotational effects

Specific objectives• Determine nutrient depletion • Quantify BNF for faba bean• Identify genotypes for positive soil N balance, P use efficiency and grain yield potential• Assess extent of root colonization by mycorrhiza • Investigate mechanisms of enhanced P use efficiency• Evaluate rotational effects

Activity 1 (2008/09)Screening of faba bean (Vicia faba)

16 genotypes screened for • Adaptability, Nodulation, Yield and

agronomic performance• RCBD, 3 reps used, ANOVA & LSD0.05,

for mean comparison

Activity 2 (2009/10)BNF and P uptake studies

• Farmer’s field trial at Dedo, RCBD, 3 reps• 2 factors: fertilizer (0, 30 kg-1 as TSP) and genotype (six faba)• BNF, 15N natural abundance, wheat as reference• P Uptake and use efficiency

Conclusions• Evaluate rotational effects of superior fafa bean varieties like

Moti, Obse, and Degaga for the subsequent cereal crop (Activity 3)
