ABSTRACT Soil acidity influences nutrient availability and plant growth performances in Ethiopian highlands. Sustainable agronomic practices like bio‐organic amendments are getting attention to address such problems. This study was, therefore, conducted evaluate the effects of various on grain yield components faba bean varieties under field conditions. Treatments were arranged a split‐split plot within complete block design: two levels Rhizobium inoculation as main plot, three beans subplots, four coffee husk biochar‐lime sub‐subplots replications. The results revealed that increased nodule count, biomass, yields by 39.7%, 21.9%, 23.1%, respectively. Application recommended biochar rate was found increase count 49.4%, its combination with lime shown enhance formation overall beans. Notably, applying 10 t/ha resulted biomass increments 69.2% 77.5%, Furthermore, remarkable improvement observed combined application inoculant biochar. cost benefit analysis also showed net profit 361,637.3 Birr/ha when applied marginal return 1468.8%, translated into an additional income 14.68 Birr per unit investment. present finding use supplements can be taken good option for sustainable production acid soils viable economic returns.
