Abstract

Experiments were conducted in three consecutive cropping years (2017, 2018 and 2019) at two districts (Gedeb-Hasasa and Lemu-Bilbilo) on different farmers fields, to determine optimum rates of N-P-S-Zn-B and urea fertilizers for wheat crop by varying levels of N-P-S-Zn-B (0, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg ha-1 ), urea (0, 150, 250, 350 kg ha-1) and blank recommended NP. The soil result of the sites crop after harvest reveled that, treatments were significantly (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01) affected pH, total N organic matter and available P for samples collected from experimental sites of wheat crop, and different fertilizer level had significant (p < 0.05) effect on crop after harvest pH contents of soil at Gedeb-Hasasa. The applied treatments also significantly (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01) affected pH, total N, organic carbon and available P for samples collected from trial sites on both farmer field and sub-station of the crop at Lemu-Bilbilo. Combined levels of the two fertilizers were significantly (p < 0.05) affected grain and biomass yields at both districts. The maximum grain and biomass yield (6137 and 13192 kg ha-1) in the first year and minimum (3786 and 7651 kg ha-1) in the second year of cropping season. Significant grain and biomass yield (6234 and 13518 kg ha-1) were also received from the application of 250 and 350 kg ha-1 N-P-S-Zn-B and urea, respectively at Gedeb-Hasasa. Maximum grain and biomass yield (7043 and 13516 kg ha-1) in the third year and minimum (4265 and 9343 kg ha-1) in the first year of cropping season were recorded, and significant grain and biomass yield (6235 and 12865 kg ha-1) were also obtained from the application of 250 and 350 kg ha-1 N-P-S-Zn-B and urea, respectively, at Lemu-Bilbilo.
