- Intervention effect Fertilizer treatment affected wheat productivity in Debre Birhan.
- Intervention effect Full NPK increased yields over the control in Debre Birhan.
- Intervention effect A combination of NPK and manure gave better yields than manure as the only source of added nutrients in Debre Birhan.
- Intervention effect Half the recommended NPK with micronutrients and manure gave yields similar to the full fertilizer treatment.
- Intervention effect In Hosaina, treatment had no significant effect on wheat productivity.
- Intervention effect Lower rates of nitrogen and phosphorous gave lower yields than the full NPK treatment in Maychew.
- Intervention effect A significant treatment effect was observed in Maychew.
- Intervention effect Plant density had a significant effect on on-farm productivity.
- Recommendation Investments to optimize plant densities have a large potential to increase wheat productivity.
- Recommendation Nutrient management including micronutrients is important in specific cases.
