Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a legume crop grown primarily for its edible seeds (beans) and a major legume seed consumed by humans worldwide. So as boost its productivity, application of naturally symbiotic fertilizer is essential. Hence, the objective of this trial was to evaluate rhizobia naturally associated with faba bean for acidic soil. In order to deadline the mentioned goals, different nodule data and yield attributing traits were taken and evaluated based on standard procedure. Accordingly, the highest nodule number (151 per plant) were obtained when the faba bean were inoculated with rhizobia isolate FB-EM-05 in year 1 and 40.7 per plant were obtained when there were no any inoculations of Faba bean seed in year 2. Additionally the highest nodule dry weight 1.1 and 0.68 gram per plant were obtained when the faba bean isolate were inoculated with FB-EM-05 and FB-NS-03 respectively in 2019. The highest biomass per hectare 11111.11kg were obtained when the seeds treated with rhizobia isolates FB-NS-03. The highest grain yield 2883.69 kg per hectare were obtained from faba bean inoculated with isolate FB-NS-03 which increase the grain yield about 24.14 percent over the negative control in year 2019. However, the highest above ground biomass (4500 kg per hectare) among the rhizobia isolate was recorded from isolate FB-EM-02 and the highest grain yield was obtained from faba bean treated with isolate FB-EM-05 and yielded about 1532.3kg per hectare. Overall, the highest Faba bean grain yield was obtained when the seeds were treated with isolate FB-NS-03 account for the result of 2297 kilogram per hectare and will be used for biofertilizer production.
