It is mela new fertilizer testing row data

In multi-environment trials, accurate estimation of yields in individual environments and astute choice of models to extract and display agronomically relevant signals enhance genotype evaluation and accelerate breeding progress. The objective of this study is to (i) compare patterns of genotype × environment interaction (GE) using additive main effect...

Integrated applications of organic and inorganic nutrient sources are indispensable for enhanced nutrient use efficiency and crop yields. However, it requires determination of the optimum combination of these resources based on soil type, crop species, and location. Cognizant of this fact, an experiment was conducted to determine the optimum levels and...

Determination of the optimum organic and inorganic fertilizer Combination rate for improved yield and quality of Wollega specialty coffee.

This study aimed to assess the production and utilization of sugarcane tops (SCTs) by livestock farms in and around Wonji-Shoa and Metehara sugar estates. A total of 308 households were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire, where data on household characteristics, and acquisition, utilization, feeding practices, preserving and marketing of...

Highly soluble N fertilizers like urea may be lost from the soil plant system through leaching, volatilization, and denitrification thereby reduce yields and NUE of arable crops. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of slow nitrogen (N) releasing fertilizer (UREAStabil) on NUE and yields of bread wheat and determine optimum rate of N...

Although soil and agronomy data collection in Ethiopia has begun over 60 years ago, the data are hardly accessible as they are scattered across different organizations, mostly held in the hands of individuals (Ashenafi et al.,2020; Tamene et al.,2022), which makes them vulnerable to permanent loss. Cognizant of the problem, the Coalition of the Willing...

Chickpea provides numerous benefits to smallholder households in different ways. Increasing access to improved seed has the potential to improve the productivity of chickpea in Ethiopia. In the chickpea seed supply chain, understanding the seed source and actors’ role is important for providing quality and improved chickpea seed to farmers through...

To see the impact of urea stabil on yield and quality of malt barley

There is no doubt that the drought frequency, which is attributed to climate change and variability among other causes, is increasing in both severity and length in all pastoral areas of Ethiopia. It has been threatening pastoral societies of the Borana with increasing substantial economic losses and humanitarian suffering in the last two decades. We have...

Ethiopia is one of the major faba bean growing countries in the world but with a low average national yield (≤ 2 t ha-1) compared to yield levels in other countries. The objective of this study was to determine potential yield (Yp), water-limited potential yield (Yw) and yield gaps (Yg) of faba bean across the faba bean growing regions of Ethiopia....

A field experiment was conducted for three consecutive cropping seasons (2015-2017) on farmers’ fields in Welmera, Ada’a Berga and Ejere district of Oromiya Regional State. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the influence of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of barley and soil chemical properties. The treatments included...

Drought is among the major constraints in mung bean production. The main goal of the current study was to investigate the response of 60 mung bean genotypes to two constrasting moisture regimes using diverse indices. The experiment was made at Jinka Agricultural Research Center using a 6 x 10 alpha lattice design replicated twice. Correlation analysis...

Seven genotypes were evaluated under rainfed conditions at seven different locations across northwestern Ethiopia with the objectives of investigating phenotypic performance, determining the magnitude of effect of genotypes, environments, and their interactions on important traits and identifying stable malting barley genotype. The highest mean grain...

With the aim of identifying improved propagation techniques that can be applied in a larger scale plantation, six types of vegetative propagation materials obtained from three A. alpina landraces (TIFRO, WELELE and WONDE) were evaluated for their performance under field condition in the Choke Mountain, northwestern Ethiopia. The three techniques namely...

Sixty-four durum wheat genotypes comprised of different sources of origin were field evaluated in a simple lattice design with two replications at Debre-Zeit sandy soil environment during the 2016 main season. The objective was to assess the extent of genetic variability for durum wheat genotypes under rain-fed terminal moisture stress using fifteen...

At a soil pH value of above 7.0, inorganic phosphorus (P) is highly susceptible to precipitation as insoluble form that is unavailable to plants. Hence, a field experiment was conducted at Metehara Sugar Estate under irrigation during the 2014/15 cropping season to evaluate the effect of inoculating Bradyrhizobium on P uptake and P use efficiency of...

Changes in carbohydrate status and metabolism in the source and sink organs determine rate of growth and yield of plants subjected to drought stress. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of post-flowering drought stress on assimilate synthesis at source level and availability of the assimilates for metabolism in the reproductive sink...

Two-hundred and twenty-five finger millet germplasm accessions obtained from the Ethiopian Institute of Biodiversity and Adet Agricultural Research Center were evaluated in 15×15 simple lattice design with two replications at Koga Irrigation trials site during the 2016/17 dry season. The objective of the study was to assess the genetic diversity of finger...
