Effects of Blended Fertilizer Rates on Growth, Yield and Quality of Malt Barley (Hordeum distichum L.) Varieties at Mekdela District, South Wollo, Ethiopia
Abstract: Malt Barley is main cash-crop in Ethiopia, whose yield was constrained by lack of improved varieties, and declining soil fertility due to nutrient depletion. A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of Blended fertilizer rates on growth, yield and quality of malt barley varieties at Mekdela District, South Wollo, Ethiopia. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with factorial arrangement with three replication and consisted …

Evaluation of Different Blended Fertilizer Type and Rate for Better Production of Wheat in Meskan Woreda, Guraghe Zone Ethiopia
Abstract: In Ethiopia, wheat accounts the fourth level from the total cultivated area and production. Application of balanced essential elements is required to improve production of wheat. However, its productivity is mainly constrained by lack of site-specific fertilizer (NPSB) recommendation in the study area. Therefore, field experiment was conducted at Meskanworeda during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 main cropping season to evaluate the effect of different blended fertilizers on yield and yield components …

Evaluation of NPSB Fertilizer Rate for Better Production of Onion (alliumcepa.l) in Silte Zone Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Onions are an economically important crop in the study area. However, its productivity is far below from its potential yield due to poor soil fertility management. Therefore, the present study was initiated to determine the optimal rate of compound fertilizer required for onion production. A field experiment was conducted for a year in 2020in the farmer's field in Silti district. The experiment consisted eight treatments arranged in a randomized complete …

Evaluating the Effect of NPSB Fertilizers on Barely (Hordeum vulgare L.) Production and Productivity at Tocha Woreda, Southwest Ethiopia.
Abstract: A number of blended fertilizers (BFs) were formulated and introduced but site and crop specific rate was not identified. A research was conducted in Tocha woreda to evaluate the rate of NPSB fertilizer to improve barely yield during main cropping season of 2019 and 2020. The experiment consists of seven treatment such as control(0) , recommended NP (69kg N and 20kg P), NPSB: 18.9-37.7-6.95-0.1 (100kg NPSB), NPSB: 41.9-37.7-6.95-0.1(100kg NPSB + …

NPSB Fertilizer Effect on Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) At Wolaita Zone Sodo Zuria Woreda, South Ethiopia
Abstract: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of most important cereal crop in Ethiopia. The major obstacle for farmer to produce wheat in Ethiopia was low soil fertility status and nutrient imbalance. The experiment was conduct during 2019 and 2020 ‘meher’ cropping season at Kokate substation of Areka agricultural research center at sodo zuria woreda wolaita zone south Ethiopia with objectives of evaluating the effect of NPSB fertilizers rate on yield and …

Effects of NPS Fertilizer Rates on Yield and Yield Components of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Varieties in Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Solanum tuberosum L. is a high-yielding crop that can be produced twice or four times per year. But its yield is limited due to low soil fertility and limited use of improved varieties. The study's objective was to identify the blend NPS fertilizer rates for potato varieties yield and yield components. The experiment was carried out using a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed …

Compressive Strength Characteristic of Environmentally Friendly Laterite Soil Blocks
Abstract: In order to minimize the environmental impacts caused by over exploitation of natural resources for theproduction of building material, the possibility of using blended soil blocks duly burnt for load-bearing wallshas been assessed to alternate the fertile top soil of agricultural land. Since the vertical load carrying capacityprimarily depends on the compressive strength, a comprehensive study was conducted for burnt soil blocksmade with commonly available laterite and clay soil types …

Effective Reduction of Emissions of a DI Diesel Engine fuelled with Biodiesel and Diesel Blends with Oxygenated Additives
Abstract: Fatty acid methyl ester, popularly called biodiesel, has become more prominent alternate fuel for diesel engines on the basis of single-fuel concept. Since use of neat biodiesel on a large scale is raising certain constraints, both in terms of long-term availability of feed stock, fertile land and high NOx emissions, biodiesel is being adopted in blended form with petro-diesel fuel as B20 or B40. However, the HC and NOx emissions …

Vrikshayurveda: Sustainable Farming and Herbal Health Care
Abstract: India is an agriculture-based country where population mainly depends upon agricultural practices for their survival. The indiscriminate use of chemicals as fertilizers and controlling agents over last few decades has resulted in multifarious ecological and health problems. Vrikshayurveda, the ancient Indian science which advocates use of plants and their extracts for controlling the infection of soil and plants for obtaining better yield has been ignored with our greed in various …
