GROWTH, YIELD AND NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCY OF
GREEN BEAN (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) AS INFLUENCED BY RATE OF BIOCHAR AND NITROGEN FERTILIZER AT JIMMA,
SOUTHWESTERN ETHIOPIA
Based on the national soil database, most of the southwest Ethiopian soils are
deficient in macronutrients (Nitrogen) and affected by ongoing acidification
problems. This has affected growth, yield and NUE of legumes in general and
that of green beans in particular. However, studies on the combined application
of inorganic and organic fertilizer or amendments to improve the growth yield
and NUE of green bean is scant.
