“…Similarly, the previous work of [10] and [7] had shown limited knowledge of farmers to apply lime in Woliata Zone. However, different researchers have reported soil acidity as a serious problem for crop productivity in Wolaita area [10,7,11,38]. For instance, [11] reported pH of 4.4 and 4.6 at Kokate and Areka in Wolaita Zone, which is very strong [39].…”

“…Extensive exploitation and depletion of nutrients occur in Ethiopia due to continuous cropping, less fallowing and limited crop rotation, complete removal of crop residues, minimum or no use of mineral fertilizers and lime on acidic soil [8,9]. These resulted in macronutrient imbalance, due to the loss of nitrates, phosphates, and potassium from the soils [10,11]. The report of [12] indicates that the soil management intervention of Wolaita Zone farmers is also inadequate to bring soil fertility improvement and good yield returns.…”

Understanding the soil fertility management practices is indispensable to improve faba bean productivity. However, little effort has been made to assess the soil fertility management practices of faba bean producing farmers of Wolaita Zone, southern Ethiopia. The study was conducted in Damot Gale and Sodo Zuria districts in Wolaita Zone to assess farmers’ soil fertility management practices for faba bean production, in 2019 on 310 framers. Faba bean productivity in the studied districts is majorly constrained by the scarcity of arable land, poor soil fertility, and soil acidity. These cumulative effects have caused negative consequences on soil fertility and faba bean productivity. In most soil fertility, management practices in faba bean farm did not significantly vary among the studied districts. The soil management practices by farmers were inadequate to improve soil fertility and to enhance faba bean productivity. Consequently, the average grain productions of both fertilized and unfertilized faba bean farm were far less than the national average. Therefore, intensive soil fertility management interventions such as faba bean residue management, crop rotation, application of sufficient and balanced fertilizers, adequate lime application, screening acidity tolerant varieties are required to improve faba bean productivity. in the studied districts.

“…ese reasons could affect the availability of applied fertilizer and crop nutrient uptake. Shanka et al [9] and Mesfin et al [10] indicated that soil acidity and related soil fertility problems are major crop yield limiting factors in the Wolaita Zone. Fanuel et al [11] also reported that the deficiency of total N, available P, and K constrains crop production in Wolaita Zone.…”

Poor soil fertility is among the major factors that limit faba bean production in Wolaita Zone in southern Ethiopia. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted in the Kokate Marachare subdistrict of Sodo Zuria District of the zone during the 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons to determine the response of faba bean to different rates of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers under lime-treated soil conditions by using Tumsa faba bean variety. The treatments consisted of three rates of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 23, and 46 kg N ha−1), three rates of phosphorus fertilizer (0, 46, and 92 kg P2O5 ha−1), and three rates of potassium fertilizer (0, 30, and 60 kg K2O ha−1) that were laid out as RCBD and replicated three times per treatment. The results indicated that the N, P, and K fertilizer combination at 23:92:60 kg ha−1 increased plant height, the number of branches per plant, and stem girth by 18%, 62.6%, and 55.6%, respectively, compared with the control treatment. A significantly high aboveground dry biomass (11.8 t ha−1), number of pods per plant (17 pods), number of seeds per pod (4 pods), stover yield (6.83 t ha−1), and hundred seed weight (88 g) were obtained from the N, P, and K fertilizer combination at 23:92:60 kg ha–1. The highest grain yield (4.97 t ha−1) was obtained from the N, P, and K combination at 23:92:60 kg ha−1, which was 360% higher than the yield obtained from the control treatment. Moreover, the highest mean net benefit (USD 4,109.33 ha−1) with an acceptable marginal rate of return of 1,340% was obtained from the N, P, and K fertilizer combination at 23 kg N, 92 kg P2O5, and 60 kg K2O ha–1, respectively. Thus, these rates are suggested for faba bean production in the acidic soils of the Wolaita Zone.

“…The exploitation of root and shoot biomass traits, total P uptake (TPU), and PUtE traits will provide the way for the enhancement of PUE in crop plants. For various measures of PUE, genetic variation among genotypes was observed in rice (Irfan et al, 2019), wheat (Deng et al, 2018, maize (Jiang et al, 2019), soybean (Furlani et al, 2002Zhou et al, 2016), common bean (Shanka et al, 2018), mungbean (Irfan, Shah & Abbas, 2017), Brassica (Akhtar et al, 2007) and cotton (Iqbal et al, 2019). However, for measuring the PUE of genotypes, attention should be given to comparing the genetic and physiological traits of crop plants.…”

Phosphorus (P) is one of the major constraints for crop growth and development, owing to low availability and least mobility in many tropical soil conditions. Categorization of existing germplasm under P deficient conditions is a prerequisite for the selection and development of P efficient genotypes in the mungbean. In the present investigation, 36 diverse genotypes were categorized for phosphorus use efficiency traits using four different techniques for identification of phosphorus use efficient mungbean genotypes. The studied genotypes were categorized for P efficiency based on efficiency, responsiveness, and stress tolerance score of genotypes under normal and low P conditions. The mean values of traits, root dry mass, root to shoot ratio, and P utilization efficiency are significantly higher under low P conditions indicating the high responsiveness of traits to P deficiency. The presence of significant interaction between genotypes and P treatment indicates the evaluated genotypes were significantly affected by P treatment for studied traits. The total P uptake showed significant and positive correlations with root dry mass, shoot dry mass, total dry mass,and P concentration under both P regimes. Out of the four techniques used for the categorization of genotypes for P efficiency, three techniques revealed that the genotype PUSA 1333, followed by Pusa Vishal, PUSA 1031, and Pusa Ratna is efficient. The categorization based on stress tolerance score is the finest way to study variation and for the selection of contrasting genotypes for P efficiency. The identified P efficient genotypes would be valuable resources for genetic enhancement of P use efficiency in mungbean breeding.
