1 Improved cereal production via N and P efficient legume genotypes in the Gilgel-Gibe catchment, Ethiopia Amsalu Nebiyu*, Pascal Boeckx** and Jan Diels*** *Jimma University, Ethiopia,**Laboratory of Applied Physical Chemistry (ISOFYS), Faculty of Bioscience Engineering, UGhent, Belgium, * * *Department of Soil and Water Management, KULeuven, Belgium Problem Low productivity due to N and P deficiency, P fixing acid soils High nutrient depletions High cost of fertilizers General objective Develop 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 & LSD 0.05, 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, 15 N natural abundance, wheat as reference P Uptake and use efficiency Results Table1. Grain yield and yield components of 16 faba bean varieties evaluated at Jimma and Dedo, 2008/2009 Fig 1. Interaction Plot (fitted means) for Total P uptake (kg/ha) of six faba bean varieties Fig 2. Interaction Plot (fitted means) for P-use efficiency (g shoot mg P -1 ) Conclusions Evaluate rotational effects of superior fafa bean varieties like Moti, Obse, and Degaga for the subsequent cereal crop (Activity 3) Table 2.
