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.

Effect of lime on selected soil chemical properties, maize () yield and determination of rate and method of its application in Northwestern Ethiopia.

Soil acidity is the major soil chemical constraint that limits agricultural productivity in the highlands of Ethiopia receiving high rainfall. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different lime rates determined through different lime rate determination methods on selected soil chemical properties and yield of maize () on acidic Nitisols of Mecha district, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The experiment had 10 treatments (0, 0.

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).

Response of crops to fertilizer application in volcanic soils.

Potassium (K) has been considered as a non-deficient nutrient in most Ethiopian soils. However, some studies recommended K application to K sufficient soils if K/Mg ratio is < 0.7.
