Description
Amare Aleminew and Tessema Miliket ran a 2026 field trial in Ethiopia's Banja District. They sought the best pairing of blended fertilizer and seed rate for bread wheat, a staple whose yields lag far behind world averages. During the 2024 main season they tested five rates of an NPSB blend, which supplies nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and boron, against four seeding rates in replicated plots.
Fertilizer and seed rate worked together rather than separately for most measures. Tall plants and heavy straw came from the top two fertilizer rates, yet grain yield and harvest share peaked at the middle pairing: 150 kilograms per hectare of each. That pairing also returned the highest profit with a very large marginal return, and the authors recommend it for the district.
