    Organic beer bio sludge and NPS chemical fertilizers showed significant impact on malt barley yield and quality attributes
    Author(s): Aberra-Abebe M and Diriba-Shiferaw G*

    Barley productivity and quality in Ethiopia is still low compared to Africa and other developed countries due to soil fertility depletion and low rate use of organic and chemical fertilizers below the rate required and unbalanced application of nutrients. Thus, this experiment was conducted to test the effect of integrated use of organic Beer biosludge (0, 5, 10, 15 t ha-1 BBS) and inorganic blended NPS fertilizer (0, 75, 100, 150 kg ha-1 NPS) on growth, yield and yield component of malt barley at Lemu-Bilbilo district in Arsi zone in 2019 cropping season. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design having sixteen treatments in three replications. The analysis of variance showed that the highest (19.49 t ha-1) and lowest (12.26 t ha-1) mean biomass yield per hectare were obtained from plots fertilized with 15 t BBS along .. View More»
