Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation increased nodules per plant by 23.6%.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation increased seeds per pod by 11.1%.
- Association The Rhizobium, phosphorus and variety interaction significantly influenced height, branch and pod count, above-ground and shoot biomass, and grain yield.
- Intervention effect Inoculated Dosha at 30 kg P ha −1 had 24.4% taller plants than uninoculated, unfertilized Numan.
- Intervention effect Inoculated Dosha at 30 kg P ha −1 had 66.2% higher pods than uninoculated, unfertilized Numan.
- Intervention effect Grain yield rose 214% for inoculated Numan relative to uninoculated and zero-P Gebelcho.
- Intervention effect Biomass yield rose 79.4% for inoculated Dosha relative to uninoculated and zero-P Gebelcho.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium plus 20 kg P ha −1 yielded the highest net benefit of 317,842.9 ETB ha −1.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium plus 20 kg P ha −1 gave a marginal return of 1972.6%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend Rhizobium with phosphorus at 20 kg ha −1 to improve productivity and economic returns.
