Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a vital grain legume tremendously prioritized for meals and the marketplace in Ethiopia. However, the productiveness of common bean is low at country-wide in addition to zonal tiers. Poor soil fertility, due to soil acidity, is one of the factors that affect the growth and yield of beans. The low productivity of beans is likewise associated with decreased nodulation in acid soils. The use of Rhizobium inoculation (RI) may improve nodulation but nutrient uptake by the crop under acidic conditions is very low. Biochar (BC) has been reported to be of potential value in improving soil properties and in reducing the harmful effects caused by soil acidity. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to determine the effects of BC and RI on growth, yield, and yield component of common bean at Jimma under lath house conditions. The treatments consisted of three levels of BC (0, 5, and 10 t ha-1) and two levels of RI (RI1 and RI0). The experiment was laid out in RCBD with four replications. Results revealed that combined application of BC and RI highly significantly (P < 0.01) influenced the number of nodules, nodule dry weight, root dry weight, root volume, number of pods, and seed yield and significantly (p < 0.05) influenced days to physiological maturity, number of effective nodules, nodule volume, pod length and number of seed per pods. Combined application of 10 ton ha-1 BC with RI1 increased pod number and seed yield over sole applications of RI, and when compared to the control. In general, the results of this study indicated that the combined application of BC and RI1 has a promising positive effect on yield and yield components of common bean. Hence, the combined application of 10 tons of BC ha-1 with RI1 resulted in maximum seed yield and yield components of common bean. However, since the data was obtained from lath house conditions, it will be worth repeating the experiment under field conditions but care has to be taken upon transferring the result, to draw sound conclusions and recommendations.
