Abstract

The experiment was conducted with the objectives of investigating the yield-limiting nutrients through nutrient omission trial on upland rice in 2020/2021 cropping season on the vertisols in Fogera District, Northwestern Ethiopia. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with nine treatments and three replications. The treatments were Control, Recommended NP, NPKSZnB, PKSZnB (-N), NKSZnB (-P), NPSZnB (-K), NPKZnB (-S), NPKSB (-Zn) and NPKSZn (-B). Yield attributing characters of biomass yield, plant height, panicle length, effective tillers, grain and straw yields of rice were significantly influenced by the treatments. The highest grain yield (7.2 ton ha^-1) was recorded from NPKSZnB treatment which was not significant with NPKSZn (-B), NPKSB (-Zn) and NPSZnB (-K). The lowest grain yield of 2.2 ton ha^-1 was recorded from the control followed by omission of N, P and S nutrients. The omission of N, P and S reduced the grain and straw yields significantly over the treatment receiving all the nutrients. The omission of N reduced the grain yield by 46%, omission of P reduced the grain yield by 17% while S omission reduced grain yield by 11% over the treatment that received all nutrients. Based on percent grain yield reduction, the limiting nutrients were found in the order of N > P > S. Overall, this result shows that nitrogen phosphorus and sulfur were the most vibrant factors to increase the yield and yield component of rice.

The lowest grain yield of 2.2 ton ha-1 was recorded from the control followed by omission of N, P and S nutrients. The omission of N, P and S reduced the grain and straw yields significantly over the treatment receiving all the nutrients. The omission of N reduced the grain yield by 46%, omission of P reduced the grain yield by 17% while S omission reduced grain yield by 11% over the treatment that received all nutrients. Based on percent grain yield reduction, the limiting nutrients were found in the order of N > P > S. Overall, this result shows that nitrogen phosphorus and sulfur were the most vibrant factors to increase the yield and yield component of rice.
