Because of the rising costs of chemical fertilizers and the growing environmental concerns, there is a need in the use of bio-inoculants in crop production and soil fertility enhancement. A field study was therefore conducted at Jimma zone Kersa and Nadi gibe District during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 main cropping season to evaluate soybean nodulating rhizobia isolates under field condition in order to select the best performing rhizobia strain for nodulation, yield and yield attributes of soybean. Eight treatments were arranged in RCBD with three replications. Nodule number, number of pods per plant, dry biomass and grain yield was responded significantly to the interaction effects of Tgp-3 inoculation. The maximum mean yield of 2506.5kg per hectare and mean dry biomass of 8.12 ton per hectare was obtained from Tgp-3 inoculation. Similarly the highest mean nodule number of 298.68 per plant was counted after inoculation with Tgp-3. Similarly the highest mean number of pods per plant was obtained by inoculation of Tgp-3. These results demonstrated that the dominance of Tgp-3 rhizobium isolate and could explain the effectiveness of the isolate in South west soil of Ethiopia. Inoculation of Tgp-3 isolate with Clark 63-K soybean variety was being considered effective symbionts for Clark 63-K soybean production in the area.
