- Intervention effect Drought limited Amdoun growth.
- Intervention effect Drought limited Neyer growth.
- Intervention effect Drought decreased Chetoui nitrogen content.
- Intervention effect Drought decreased Amdoun nitrogen content.
- Intervention effect Drought decreased Neyer nitrogen content.
- Association Nitrogen shortage was associated with increased nodule mortality.
- Association Nitrogen shortage was associated with restricted nodule growth.
- Observation Beja and Kesseb were the most drought-tolerant based on minimal biomass and nitrogen-content decreases.
- Observation Chlorophyll loss differed among varieties under water stress.
- Observation Nodule mortality differed among varieties under water stress.
- Association A greater root-to-shoot ratio increase identified Beja as most tolerant.
- Association Lower nodule mortality identified Beja and Kesseb as most tolerant.
- Observation Amdoun had higher biomass per plant under control conditions.
- Observation Amdoun had higher nitrogen content under control conditions.
- Observation Amdoun ranked similarly to other varieties under stress.
- Recommendation Amdoun may offer a growth–tolerance trade-off where drought probability is low.
