Effects of vermicompost and lime on acidic soil properties and malt barley (Hordeum Distichum L.) productivity in Mecha district, northwest Ethiopia.

Due to continuous cultivation, high soil acidity, and low nutrient inputs, soil fertility depletion has been a major threat to northwest Ethiopia's crop productivity and food security. This study aimed to examine the effects of vermicompost and lime rates on soil properties and malt barley (Hordeum distichum L.) productivity under a furrow irrigation system on acidic soil in the Mecha district, northwest Ethiopia.

Effect of lime rates and method of application on soil properties of acidic Luvisols and wheat (, L.) yields in northwest Ethiopia.

Soil acidity has become a major constraint that threatens sustainable agricultural production in Ethiopia. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of lime rates and application methods on selected soil properties and wheat (, L.) yields on acidic Luvisols of northwestern Ethiopia.

Integrated fertilizer application improves soil properties and maize ( L.) yield on Nitisols in Northwestern Ethiopia.

Soil fertility depletion is emerging as a serious challenge causing low crop yields and food insecurity in Ethiopia. An on-farm experiment was conducted in 2017/2018 cropping season to investigate the effects of combined application of compost and mineral fertilizer on selected soil properties and maize yield in North-western Ethiopia. Treatments were factorial combinations of three rates of Urea/NPSB (0/0, 50/50 and 100/100 kg ha) and three rates of compost (0, 5 and 10 t ha).
