Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Nitrogen and phosphorus were the principal yield limiting nutrients.
- Intervention effect Omitting K, S, Zn, and B did not significantly reduce bread wheat grain yield compared with recommended N and P.
- Intervention effect Blended and compound nutrients showed no significant grain yield advantage over NP.
- Intervention effect Added K, S, Zn, and B did not increase wheat grain and biomass yields.
- Intervention effect Added K, S, Zn, and B did not increase tef grain and biomass yields.
- Recommendation The authors suggest further fertilizer source and form research for future crop production.
