Response of Different Blended Fertilizer Rates on Yield and Yield Related Traits of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes in Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia
Author(s): Tesema Robel* and Silas Chiko
In Ethiopia, bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important source of food and income for smallholder farmers. However, its productivity is very low, which is attributed to poor agronomic and soil fertility management practices. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted in Damot Gale district during 2021 main cropping season in order to identify the effect of blended (NPSB) fertilizer rates on growth, yield and yield components of bread wheat genotypes as well as to determine the optimum and economically feasible fertilizer rate for bread wheat production. The experiment consisted of four levels of NPSB (0, 75, 150, 225 kg ha-1) and three bread wheat genotypes G-226930, G-238133 and G-238871 and with one standard check (Alidoro) variety combined factorial and laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications and analyzed by using.
