    Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is the world's third most important cereal crop, with a high yield potential. Most authorities believe that Central America and Mexico, where many different species of maize can be found, are the primary sources of maize. It is one of the world's most important economic crops. Maize is a priority and strategic crop to react to t... Show More

    Abstract: Declining soil fertility status and poor agronomic practices, including minimum use of inorganic fertilizers and inappropriate plant population per hectare are the major reasons for low productivity of soybean. Therefore, the field experiment was conductedto evaluate the response of soybean to different rates of NP fertilizer and plant population d... Show More

    Abstract: Maize is a major grain crop that is widely adaptable to many agro-ecologies across the world. The goal of the study was to see how adaptable and stable open pollinated maize varieties are in terms of grain yield and yield-related features in the Western Guji Zone's mid-altitude areas. Different genotypes perform differently in each location, which ... Show More

    Abstract: Ethiopia has suitable environmental condition for common bean production. However, the productivity of common bean is very low as compared with world average due to lack of stable, high yielding, and disease resistant genotypes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to register stable high yielding and disease resistant/tolerant common bean va... Show More
