The experiment was laid out in split plot design with haricot bean varieties (Doyo and Wabaro) as main plots and combined NPS fertilizer rate and intra-row spacing as sub-plots with three replications. The treatments consisted of four rates of NPS fertilizer (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) and three intra-row spacing (5, 10 and 15cm). Among the main treatment, variety Wabaro showed significant effect on yield components and yield of common bean except thousand seed weight. Interaction effect of variety, blended NPS fertilizer rate and intra-row spacing highly significantly (P&lt;0.01) affected days to 50% flowering, days to 90% of maturity date, Plant height, number of pod per plant, grain yield kg ha-1.The highest grain yield (2635.17kg ha-1) was obtained from variety Wabaro at intra-row spacing 5cm and 50 kg NPS ha-1 and the lowest grain yield (1683.11kg ha-1) was obtained from Doyo variety at intra-row spacing 15cm and no NPS fertilizer application. The attractive net benefit (36315.79 birr ha-1) was obtained from planting Wabaro variety at intra-row spacing 5cm and 50 kg NPS ha-1. Based on agronomic performance and economic analysis, use of Wabaro at intra-row spacing 5cm and 50 kg NPS ha-1 is promising for production of Wabaro common bean variety at Ginir, Goro and similar agro ecologies.</Abstract><CompanyAddress/><CompanyPhone/><CompanyFax/><CompanyEmail/></CoverPageProperties>
