The objective of this research was to investigate different levels and the combined effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on the nodulation and yield components of faba bean (Vicia faba L.). A large seeded 584-066 accession numbered faba bean line, which was taken from a breeding program of the Field Crops Department, was used in the experiment. Four different nitrogen (0, 30, 60, 90 kg/ha) and three phosphorus (0, 40, 80 kg/ha) levels were applied to the soil at the sowing time. The number of pods/plant, biological and grain yield per unit area, together with grain and plant N content, were increased by 60 kg/ha nitrogen combined with 40 kg/ha phosphorus applications. The highest nodule and nodule weight/plant and 100-kernel weight were obtained from 80 kg/ha phosphorus and 30 kg/ha nitrogen combination.

“…However, N fertilization may result in a reduction of nodulation and N 2 fixation (Peoples et al 2002;Stern 1993;Van Kessel and Hartley 2000). The inhibitory effect of N fertilization on nodulation and N 2 fixation of faba bean has been found under both greenhouse and field conditions (Fan et al 2006;Hardarson et al 1991;Richards and Soper 1979;Wojcieska and Kocoñ 1997). After analyzing 637 data sets on soybean (Glycine max L.) from 108 field studies published between 1966 and 2006, Salvagiotti et al (2008) found a negative exponential relationship between the nitrogen derived from air (Ndfa) and Nfertilizer rate and that %Ndfa decreases with increasing inputs of N fertilizer.…”

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is commonly inhibited by N fertilization in intensive farming systems. We hypothesized that intercropping alleviates the inhibitory effect of N fertilization on nodulation and N 2 fixation of legumes. Two years of field experiments (2006)(2007) with different Nfertilizer rates (0, 75, 150, 225, 300 kg N ha −1 ) were carried out to test the hypothesis in a faba bean (Vicia faba L.)/maize (Zea mays L.) intercropping system in the north-western part of China. The results show that both the nodule biomass and nitrogen derived from the atmosphere (Ndfa) in intercropped faba bean were increased by 7-58% and 8-33% at the start of flowering, 8-72% and 54-61% at peak flowering, 4-73% and 18-50% at grain filling, and 7-62% and −7-72% at maturity, respectively, compared with sole faba bean. Intercropping with maize significantly alleviated the inhibitory effect of N fertilization on nodulation and N 2 fixation, and improved the productivity of intercropping.

“…Lignite is used as the carrier in this commercial inoculant. Despite knowing that K deficiency can occur in the region [6] and that abundant K can positively affect the nodulation of faba bean [19], we chose not to use K fertilisation. Potassium is not included in the blanket fertiliser recommendation in the area, and we wanted to make an experiment as close as possible to the practical farming practices.…”

The productivity of the faba bean has declined in Ethiopia, owing to poor management practices, such as blanket fertilisation. In 2018, a field experiment was conducted in a Nitisol soil during the main cropping season in Northwestern Ethiopia, to determine the amount of chemical fertiliser and Rhizobium inoculant to be used for the optimum yield within economic feasibility. The experiment consisted of a factorial combination of five rates of blended NPSZnB fertiliser (0, 60, 121, 180 and 240 kg ha−1) and three rates of inoculant (0, 500 and 750 g ha−1). Sole chemical fertilisation, as well as inoculation, individually produced a seed yield of 2.3–2.5 t ha−1, about 1.0–1.2 t ha−1 more than the control. However, the maximum seed yield (3.3 t ha−1) was recorded from the combined application of both the chemical fertiliser and the inoculant. The seed yield correlated closely with the number of active nodules (R2 = 0.78 **), suggesting a substantial contribution of symbiotic N2 fixation. Inoculation increased the N content of the seed yield by at least 30 kg ha−1. Chemical fertilisation, containing at least 44 kg ha−1 of mineral N does not appear to have an adverse effect on N2 fixation. The combined use of 180 kg ha−1 blended fertiliser with 750 g ha−1 inoculant, producing a maximum net profit of 72,918 birr ha−1 (EUR 2232), is recommended for the study area. This study emphasises that (1) inoculation alone can produce as much seed as the maximum rate of chemical fertilisation, but (2) the maximum yield was produced with a combined use of inoculant and chemical fertiliser, by promoting the vigour of the nodules and N2 fixation.
