Tomato yield can be increased by the application of optimum water and fertilizer. A field experiment was conducted in Efratana Gidim district, North Shewa, Amhara, Ethiopia, during 2019 and 2020. The objective was to determine the nitrogen (N) rate and irrigation regime for optimum tomato yield and water use efficiency (WUE).

- Optimization of fertilizer use (N and P) for teff production in central Ethiopia is influenced by the type of precursor crops (cereal vs. pulse) and different Vertisols types (light vs. heavy soils).
- Significant grain yield increases were observed with higher nitrogen application rates, with a 394% yield increase at 240 kg N/ha compared to no fertilizer.
- Optimal fertilizer recommendations for various conditions were provided, with specific N and P application rates suggested for different precursor crops and soil types across three study districts, emphasizing economic efficiency in crop production.
