“…Significantly higher mean dry biomass yield (14,158 kg ha −1 ) and seed yield (6323 kg ha −1 ) were produced with the application of 40 kg P ha −1 that was at par with 20 kg P ha −1 and 30 kg P ha −1 at Lemu-Bilbilo. The results also showed that the grain yield of faba bean was significantly increased with P fertilizer application rates over the control whereas the application of 30 kg P ha −1 resulted in a higher number of effective tillers plant −1 (1.53), which was at par with all other P rates application except the unfertilized plots [29]. The highest grain yield of 3.2 t ha −1 was obtained from the application of 92 kg ha −1 P 2 0 5 at the Sekela district of West Gojam [30].…”

Faba bean is an important pulse crop in terms of protein source, area coverage, and volume of annual production in Ethiopia. The aim of this paper is to assess the agronomic and crop physiology investigations in the past two decades in Ethiopia. The production limiting factors of this crop are low input usage, natural disasters, depletion of macronutrients, and unavailability of essential nutrients. Phosphorus is among the main limiting nutrients in soil systems in Ethiopia. Seed yield and biomass yield of faba bean were increased from 1338 to 1974 kg/ha and from 3124 to 4446 kg/ha when phosphorous was changed from 0 to 52 kg/ha, respectively at Holeta whereas application of 40 kg P ha − 1 resulted in higher grain yield (6323 kg ha−1) and 3303 kg ha−1 at Lemu-Bilbilo and Bore highlands, respectively. The highest grain yield of 32 kg ha−1 was obtained from the application of 92 kg P2O5 ha−1 at Sekela district while application of 46 kg P2O5 ha−1 resulted in a substantial increase in seed yield over unfertilized plots on vertisols of Ambo. On the other hand, the results suggest that using starter nitrogen from 0 to 27 kg/ha has marginally increased faba bean yield but, a farther increase of nitrogen has indicated deteriorate of yield at Arsi zone. Proper plant populations play a crucial role in enhancing faba bean production. Planting faba bean at 30 cm × 15 cm spacing gave the highest grain yield in Duna district while it was 30 × 7.5 cm at vertisols of Ambo University research farm. Significantly higher seed yield (4222 kg/ha) was observed in the 40 cm inter-row spacing as compared to 50 cm inter-row spacing, which gave the lowest seed yield per hectare (3138 kg/ha) on fluvisols of Haramaya University. Intercropping and crop rotation are cropping systems that can increase soil fertility and crop yield. Intercropping of faba bean with barley at Debre Birhan increased land equivalent ratio than both crops when planted as sole. An additional income of 18.5% and 40% was gained than planting sole faba bean and wheat, respectively at Kulumsa. Faba bean can fix about 69 kg/ha nitrogen in Northern Ethiopia. Generally, the current review results showed that only limited studies in organic and bio fertilizer, plant density, and cropping systems were done on faba bean in Ethiopia. Hence, studies regarding soil acidity, organic fertilizer, and secondary plus micronutrient impacts on faba bean production and productivity along soil types and weather conditions need great attention in the future in Ethiopia.

“…The lack or low rates of essential elements like, Phosphorus in the soil is one of the factors negatively affect growth and yields of faba bean (Negasa et al, 2019). They also stated that, phosphate can readily be rendered unavailable to plant roots as it is the most immobile of the major plant nutrients.…”

Phosphorous is another nutrient that is critically important for legumes and the clover plants that are fixing nitrogen, but all plants need phosphorous as they do nitrogen. Legumes need a higher level of P fertility than the neighbouring grass plants. Phosphorus is vital for plant growth, and is a component of the nucleic acid structure of plants and bio-membranes. Therefore, it is important in cell division and tissue development. It is also involved in the energy metabolism of cells and is required for the biosynthesis of primary and secondary metabolites in plants. Legume crops requires less nitrogen but application of phosphorus and potassium plays a vital role in getting high yield per unit area. The application of phosphorus increases dry matter at harvest, number of pods plant -1 , seeds pod -1 , 1000 grain weight, seed yield and total biomass of mung bean. The experimental results of different authors stated that the highest number of pod plant -1 and grain yield of soyabean were obtained from maximum level of phosphorus as compared to other treatments. common bean crop dependent on nitrogen fixation needs more inorganic phosphorus than the same crop provided with mineral nitrogen. Common beans are therefore especially susceptible to low soil phosphorus when accompanied by low soil. Phosphorus also plays an important role in biological nitrogen fixation, for the symbiotic fixation of nitrogen to occur, the roots have to interact with compatible rhizobia in the soil and factors that affect root growth or the activity of the host plant would affect nodulation. however, the rate of phosphorus is varied from place to place, or it's governed by the amount of P status in the soil. Since, legume crops demanding more P than other nutrient, we have to apply it obtained best grain yield.

“…The major factors that are usually mentioned for the low yield of faba bean in Ethiopia include climatic, edaphic, biotic (diseases, pests and weeds) factors, and poor agronomic practices [9]. Majority of the farmers use low yielding of the local varieties which contribute for low production [10,11]. When comparing the yield of fababean in Ethiopia :it is below the world average due to several factors: among these lack of improved seed is a key [12].…”

Large Scale Demonstration (LSD) of Faba bean was conducted at Arsi robe district of Oromia regional state of Ethiopia. The district was selected due to its potential for Faba bean production. One cluster was formed in collaboration with district level agricultural experts.Generally the cluster size covered 4.6 hectares of land. A Faba bean varity called "Ashebeka" was demonstrated along with its full-recommended packages. Training were given for a total of 46 participants (39 farmers, 3 DAs and 4 SMS) at different stage on agronomice practice of Faba bean and chemical applications. To raise farmer's awareness on the performance of the Faba bean techinologies, a fi eld day was organized and by this fi eld day, a total of 74 participants were attended the fi eld events (59 farmeres, 7 Experts and DAs and 5 distinguished guests were attened the events). From the varity demonstrated at study district the variety was acceptable during fi eld visit and fi eld day by farmers due to its disease tolerant and well adaptation and its productivity after harvesting (the varity has a yield advantage overe the Ethiopial national average yield of fababean (21quintals per hectare CSA 2020 and "Ashebeka"; Avarage Yield=30.2; quintals per hectare was recorded in the study area.
