Yield response of barley to the application of mineral fertilizers containing major nutrients on Cambisols and Vertisols in Ethiopia

Abstract: Increasing barley production in the face of declining soil fertility on smallholder farms is a critical challenge in Ethiopia. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the optimum rates of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulfur (S) fertilizers under a balanced fertilization of other macro- and micronutrients (zinc and boron) and (2) quantify the agronomic efficiency of N and P on Cambisols and Vertisols. The trials were conducted for three consecutive years (2014–2016) on farmers’ fi… Show more

“…This emphasises the role that soil types plays in the spatial variations in N use efficiency and yields. The results are also consistent with the growing body of literature demonstrating the role of soil types in the spatial variations in yields of cereals including maize (Jama et al, 2017;Sileshi et al, 2010Sileshi et al, , 2021Tremblay et al, 2012), wheat (Wang et al, 2018) and barley (Agegnehu et al, 2011;Shewangizaw et al, 2021). On both soils, AEN declined with increase in N application rates.…”

“…On both soils, AEN declined with increase in N application rates. Other studies have reported similar trends in AEN with increasing N rates applied to maize in Uganda (Kaizzi et al, 2012) and barley and wheat in Ethiopia (Agegnehu et al, 2016;Shewangizaw et al, 2021). Elsewhere, Islam et al (2016) reported that increasing N rates reduced NUE.…”
