Abstract

Declining of Soil fertility is the most known challenging factor of agriculture which limits crop production in Ethiopia. To increase agricultural productivity, farmers have to use fertilizers. There are many types of fertilizers in our world that enhances agricultural productivity even though many of them have drawback. The technology of using Integrated Plant Nutrient Management (IPNM) is the alternative method to increase sustainable productivity because of its zero negative impact on environment and soil. Among IPNM components, biological nitrogen fixation is the good method to fix nitrogen and improve soil fertility. This experiment was conducted in 2019 &2020 to evaluate the effectiveness of Birhadyrhzobium japonicum biofertilizer strain-379 and the result obtained from plant height, pod number/plant, branch number/plant, yields and yield components were shown significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) with Birhadyrhzobium japonicum biofertilizer strain-379 comparing with the treatment with no any fertilizer and chemical N fertilizer at Wayu Tuka. This study present recommends using of rhizobium biofertilize TAL-379 strains in the production of soybean to increase grain yields and yield component at Wayu Tuka district, but in Guto Gida district, the experiment result shown chemical N fertilizer is significant difference at (P ≤ 0.05) when comparing with the strain-379.
