“…Lentil grown on low P soil can respond to phosphate fertilizer [1]. These results conform to the findings of [33,28,13] who reported enhanced seed yield of lentil by application of P fertilizers.…”

“…Increasing level of P from nil to 90 kg P2O5 ha -1 significantly shorten the time of field maturity since it promotes rapid cell division. Similarly, [13] reported that applied P from nil to 30 kg P ha -1 significantly shorten the physiological maturity of lentil. Variation on the days to flowering and maturity were by the P fertilizer rate were also reported by [10,1].…”

“…These increments of biomass and haulm yield of lentil at the highest rate of P application might be due to availability of P nutrient in the soil which increases their uptake by plants, which result in increased dry matter accumulation in leaves and stem at earlier growth stages and better translocation to yield during later stages. As [32,13] reported an increased rate of phosphorus application from 0-30 kgha -1 increased dry matter of lentil. In contrast, the seed yield was significantly lower at highest rate (90 kg P2O5 ha -1 ) than at 30 and 60 kg P2O5 ha -1 (Table 4).…”

“…Elsewhere, several investigators have reported the positive response of lentil to the application of P fertilizer during planting, which also enhanced seedling development and plant growth [12]. Further, [10,13] determined the nutritional requirement of lentil and reported that lentil cultivars studied attained their highest yields using 20 kg P ha -1 to 52.2 kg P ha -1 .…”

Poor agronomic management such as nutrient management and plant density are critical challenges of lentil production in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effects of different row spacing and phosphorus (P) applications on the seed yield of lentil at Ude and Minjar, in 2017 up to 2019. The experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with three replications. The treatments were comprised of a factorial arrangement of three levels of row spacing (20, 30 and 40 cm) and four levels of P fertilizer (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg P2O5 ha-1). The result revealed that at Ude, the row spacing x P fertilizer interactions was a significant effect on the biomass, seed, and haulm yield of lentil. However, at Minjar; only the main effects of row spacing and P fertilizer had a significant effect on biomass, seed, and haulm yield. Phosphorus agronomic use efficiency was significantly influenced by the interaction of row spacing and P fertilizer. As a result, the highest phosphorus agronomic use efficiency was recorded at 30 kg P2O5 ha-1coupled with 20 cm row spacing at both locations. The economic analysis revealed that 20 cm row spacing and 30 kg P2O5 ha-1fertilizer managements gave the highest net benefit and acceptable marginal rate of return (MRR) as compared to other practices at both locations. Therefore, 20 cm row spacing and 30 kg P2O5 ha-1rate of fertilizer would be recommended to enhance the productivity of lentil in the study areas.

Identification of appropriate varieties and seed rates for different agroecology are important agronomic practices to increase the productivity of chickpea. A field experiment was conducted during the cropping season to evaluate the performance of chickpea varieties and their seed rates on Vertisols of Abeshige district. Four chickpea varieties (Minjar of 100, 125, 150 kg ha-1), Teketay of 120, 150, 180 kg ha-1, Habru of 130, 162.5 195 kg ha-1 and Yelbe of 120, 150, 180 kg ha-1)] and three levels of seed rates were used and combined factorially in randomized complete block design with three replications. Interaction of Chickpea varieties and seed rates were significantly affected number of days to 50% emergency, days to 50% flowering and 90% maturity, plant height, seed yield, number of pods per plant, number of seed per pod, hundred seed weight, harvest index and dry biomass of chickpea. Teketay varieties showed better performance on seed yield, harvest index and number of seed per pod in response to seed rate. Teketay with 180 kg ha-1 was gave better yield and yield components of Chickpea variety. Therefore, Teketay variety with 180 kg ha-1 is recommended to sustain chickpea production in Vertisols of Abeshige areas in central mid-lands of Ethiopia.
