| dc.description.abstract | Fava bean is one of the best sources of protein grain used in human nutrition, as well as a feed. Ethiopia is the second-biggest producer of faba bean, following china. However the production of Fava bean has remained very low compared to the potential production due to living and non-living stresses combined with poor crop management methods. Thus, this research aimed at to examine the impacts of drought pressure on the development and yield performance in different fava bean collected from different agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia. The soil was prepared from soil, manure and sand with the proportion of 2:1:1 ratio. After the field capacity is determined with different moisture regimes of the field capacity level, such as 100%, 65% and 25% were determine morphological biometrics as well as grain yield were determined. Both shoot and root biomasses were dried in the drying over at 70 °C for 24 hrs. Growth measurements was started to collecting data from January 2023 up to April 2023 with across the different water regimes were significant. Analysis of variance result showed that, the measured parameters; number of node, number of tillers, productive tiller, leaf area at different time, number of pod per plant, yield per plant, rhizome dry biomass, steam dry biomass, total dry biomass, total fresh biomass, shoot fresh biological mass, root fresh biomass at different moisture levels were significant (p<0.05). Crop height, girth, number of nodule, number of node, rhizome dry biomass, steam dry biological mass, total dry biomass, total fresh biomass, steam fresh biomass, rhizome fresh biomass, number of tillers, productive tillers, green leaf number, leaf area at and yield related measurements evaluated in the shade house. There was no significant difference in plant height among the different fava bean accession at P Value .212. These findings emphasize the importance of effective moisture management strategies in maximizing fava bean productivity and underscore the need for further research to enhance drought resilience in this crop at 188ml (25%)moisture level. | |
