  Utilization of fertilizers is an integral part of improved crop production technology and their proper management to crops is important for maximum yield production. Nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient for production of cereal crops in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, barley ranks both in area coverage and production among cereals. The most important factors that reduce yield of barley in Ethiopia include poor soil fertility, water logging, drought, frost, soil acidity, diseases and insect pests, and weed competition. The present experiment was conducted on main rainy season of 2013 to 2016 for three consecutive years to determine the effect of application of different doses of nitrogen (N) on yield and yield attributes of food barley (var. HRo713).The treatments includedthe control (0), 46, 92, 138,176 and 222 kg N ha-1and 69 P205, 80 K20, 30 S, 0.5 B, 2 Zn and 2 Cu kg ha-1 were applied uni.. View More»
