Response of bread wheat to rate and timing of nitrogen application in marginal rainfall zone in Ethiopia
(African Crop Science Society, 1994)
Nitrogen fertilizer rate by timing trials were conducted on bread wheat (Triticum aeslivum L) in peasant farmers' fields during two annual cropping seasons for three years in a drought-prone district of southeastern Ethiopia. ...
