JF - Journal of Scientific Agriculture JA - J Sci Agri VL - 8 IS - SE - Articles DO - 10.25081/jsa.2024.v8.8959 UR - https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/jsa/article/view/8959 SP - 44-50 AB - <p>The study was conducted at Horo district on six (6) farmers’ fields to investigate the effect of integrated vermicompost and chemical nitrogen fertilizer for bread wheat and the soil nutrient content. The treatments consist of without any fertilizer, recommended chemical NP fertilizer, 100% N equivalent vermicompost + recommended P₂O₅, 75% N equivalent Vermicompost + 25% recommended N + recommended P₂O₅, 50% equivalent Vermicompost + 50% recommended N + recommended P₂O₅and 25% equivalent Vermicompost + 75% recommended N + recommended P₂O₅. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Dendea seed variety with a rate of 150 Kg ha^-1 was used for the trial. ANOVA analysis for after harvesting soil parameters showed significant (P&lt;0.05) differences among treatments for available phosphorus, organic carbon, exchangeable acidity and cations exchange capacity while pH and exchangeable Ca and Mg were not statistically significant among the treatments. ANOVA showed that the treatments significantly influenced all collected yield and yield related parameters of the crop. Relatively the highest crop yield and yield related traits were obtained from T₂ (recommended chemical fertilizer) while the lowest was from control (without fertilizer). The highest net income (91971.70 birr/ha) was obtained from 25% equivalence vermicompost + 75% recommended N + recommended P₂O₅. To have more confidence in the technology; it should be verified in the same area with the same management procedure.</p> ER -
