Determination of Appropriate Fertilizer Rate and Intra Row Spacing for Biomass of Pennisetum pedicellatum in South Omo Zone, South Western Ethiopia
Author(s): Denbela Hidosa* and Worku Bedeke
This study was conducted at on station of Jinka agricultural research center with objective of
identifying appropriate fertilizer rate and spacing for Pennisetum pedicellatum grass. The splits of
grass were planted on plot area of 4 m × 3 m=12 m2 under fertilizers rate of 50 kg ha-1 DAP and 50 kg
ha-1 urea (R1); 100 kg ha-1 DAP and 150 kg ha-1 urea (R2) and 100 kg ha-1 DAP and 200 kg ha-1 urea
respectively with spacing 0.25 cm × 0.5 cm (L1), 0.5 cm × 0.75 cm (L2), 0.75 cm × 1 m (L3) and 1 m ×
1.25 m (L4) in randomized completed block design with three replications in factorial arrangements.
The results indicated that dry matter yield and tillers per plant were significantly affected (P<0.05) by
intra row spacing between the L1 and L2, L1 and L3, a.. View More»
