Performance Evaluation and Yield Stability of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Hybrid Genotypes in Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Improved maize varieties were released by different agricultural research centers at different times in Ethiopia. However, the productivity of these varieties was not evaluated at wide environment. The variety choice of most farmers in Ethiopia is not suitable for their farm due to lack of awareness about varieties adaptability and their field’s condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability and yield potential of hybrid maize genotypes …

Split Application of Lime on Acid Soil Amelioration and Bread Wheat Yield at Dember, SNNPR Ethiopia
Abstract: Soil acidity is one of the most important yield-limiting factors for crop production in highlands areas where areas receive heavy rainfall. Liming of acidic soils has been suggested as a good measure to boost crop productivity in acidic soils. However, lime is not free or easy to obtain, require a large quantity, and its transportation is also difficult. Thus, a field trial was carried out in permanent plots to investigate …

Demonstration and Evaluation of Potato Varieties and Fungicide Spray Frequencies for Management of Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans) Disease in Silte and Hadya Zone, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Late blight disease caused by Phytophthora infestans is one of the major constraints on potato production in Ethiopia. The present research was designed with the aim of evaluating potato varieties and fungicide application frequencies for the management of late blight. The combinations of two different potato varieties with three different levels of fungicide application frequencies were used in Alicho wuriro and Analomo research substation during 2014 and 2015 main growing …

The Efficacy of two Organic Droppings (Poultry manure and Cow dung) on the Development, Nutrient Status and Yield of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.)
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two organic fertilizers on the growth, development, nutrient status and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) The experiment was carried out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three treatments (Poultry manure, Cow dung and control) and were replicated twice. The findings of this study indicate significant differences (P<0.05) in response to the different organic fertilizers applied. Hence, the growth …

Corm Production in Gladiolus Using Different Chemicals and Growth Regulators
Abstract: AbstractThe experiment was conducted in the experimental field of Department of Horticulture, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur-1706 from November 2019 to May 2020. In the experiment, foliar spray with GA3 at 150 (T1), 200 (T2) and 250 ppm (T3), KNO3 at 1% (T4) and 2% (T5), Ca (NO3) at 1% (T6) and 2% (T7) was done at 30, 45 and 60 DAP to observe corm yield of gladiolus. …
