Abstract

The field experiment was carried out at Hawassa, during the 2020 cropping season with the objectives to evaluate the impact of maize-common bean intercropping and inoculation on physiological response, nodulation and yield of common bean. The treatments consist of two common bean varieties (Hawassa Dume, Nassir), two levels of inoculation (HB-429 inoculated, un-inoculated) and three spatial arrangements (Sole Common bean, Maize one row - Common bean one row, and Maize one row - Common bean two rows). The treatments were laid out in a factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications and comprising twelve treatments. Data on physiological variables, nodulation, and yield of common bean were recorded. The results revealed that the main effect of spatial arrangements highly significantly (P < 0.001) affected the Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B, transpiration rate, and intercellular CO2 concentration which were the highest on sole cropping common bean. The interaction effects of spatial arrangements and inoculation significantly (P < 0.01) affected the total chlorophyll contents, photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll fluorescence resulted in the maximum value on sole cropping with inoculated (HB-429). The interaction effects of spatial arrangements and inoculation significantly (P < 0.01) affected the number of nodules plant-1, nodule dry weight plant-1, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, grain yield and above ground biomass yield. The highest grain yield of 2.54 t ha-1 was recorded from on sole cropping common bean with inoculated (HB-429) can be used at Hawassa, and areas with similar agro-ecology.
