: Integrated application of inorganic and organic fertilizers is the main sources for replenishing plant nutrients in agricultural soils. However, selecting the optimum combination of these resources based on soil type and crop species is necessary. In this context, field experiment was conducted at Haru research center to assess the effect of coffee husk Compost and NPS Fertilizer on soil physicochemical properties and Yield of coffee in 2018/2019. The treatments were the different rates of both compost and NPS fertilizers laid out in randomized complete block design. Soil samples were taken before and after planting. Analytically determined soil physicochemical and agronomic data was subjected to analysis of variance using GLM procedures of the Statistical Analysis System Software (version 9.3). The results of the study showed that combined application of coffee husk compost and NPS fertilizers were improved soil moisture and total porosity over control, while, bulk density was decreased below the control. The alkalinity of applied compost caused increment of soil pH after treating the plots by coffee husk compost. Moreover, the application of coffee husk compost along with inorganic fertilizers increased the contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, available sulfur, exchangeable basis and CEC. Combined application of coffee husk compost at (7.5 t ha ) and mineral 1 NPS fertilizer at (50 kg ha ) has better improved yield of coffee crop. The experimental yield of Manasibu 1 variety for present study from the station was 1.59 t ha . Therefore, based on the result of the study it can be 1 concluded that under condition of low soil pH of study area the availability of essential nutrients (e.g. P, N, K, Ca, Mg and Mo) are critically affected. This indicates that the strong acid pH values at Haru Research sub-center require more attention. Moreover, the low levels of CEC, organic carbon, total nitrogen and available P contents at study area soils confirm that soil fertility is among the constraints for sustainable coffee production in the Haru district. In response to this application of integrated NPS fertilizer and coffee husk compost with different rates improved soil physicochemical properties and coffee yield. Nevertheless, the potential coffee productivity in the area has not yet been exploited. Alleviating the soil fertility problems of the soils of study area through integrated application of local available coffee husk compost and blended NPS fertilizer could be one option. The study recommended that the use of 7.5 t ha coffee husk compost and 50 kg ha of NPS 1
无机和有机肥料的综合施用是补充农业土壤植物养分的主要来源。然而，根据土壤类型和作物种类选择这些资源的最佳组合是必要的。在此背景下，在春研究中心进行了2018/2019年咖啡壳堆肥和NPS肥对咖啡土壤理化性质和产量的影响的田间试验。试验采用完全随机区组设计，分别施不同比例的堆肥和NPS肥。种植前后分别取土壤样品。分析确定的土壤理化和农艺数据使用统计分析系统软件(9.3版)的GLM程序进行方差分析。结果表明:咖啡壳堆肥与NPS肥料配施能显著提高土壤含水量和孔隙度，降低土壤容重;咖啡壳堆肥处理后，土壤pH值随施用堆肥的碱度增加而增加。与无机肥料配合施用咖啡壳堆肥可提高土壤有机质、全氮、速效磷、速效硫、交换性基和CEC含量。咖啡壳堆肥(7.5 t hm2)与无机氮磷肥(50 kg hm2)配施能较好地提高咖啡作物产量。本试验站试验马纳西武1号的产量为1.59 t / h。因此，根据研究结果可以得出结论，在研究区土壤pH较低的条件下，必需养分(如P、N、K、Ca、Mg和Mo)的有效性受到严重影响。这表明Haru研究分中心的强酸pH值需要更多的关注。此外，研究区土壤CEC、有机碳、全氮和速效磷含量较低，证实了土壤肥力是制约Haru地区咖啡可持续生产的因素之一。不同比例的NPS肥与咖啡壳堆肥配合施用，改善了土壤理化性质，提高了咖啡产量。然而，该地区潜在的咖啡产量尚未得到开发。综合施用当地速效咖啡壳堆肥和NPS混合肥料可以缓解研究区土壤肥力问题。研究建议使用7.5吨/公顷的咖啡壳堆肥和50公斤/公顷的NPS 1

The productivity of agricultural resources was very low; especially in the developing world where production is common on fragile lands and characterized by small-scale subsistence farming. Commercialization of agriculture provides farm households with a means to alleviate poverty and food insecurity by generating incomes in the rural areas. This paper aims to identify factors affecting commercialization of tomato crop by smallholder farmers in Siltie Zone, Southern Ethiopia. Both structured and unstructured questionnaires and Focus Group Discussion were used to collect data from 175 respondents randomly selected from designated locations in the study area. Descriptive statistics and heckman two stage models were used to analyze the collected data. According to first stage Heckman selection estimation (probit regression) model result, Education, frequency of extension contact, distance to market, market agreement and lagged price played a significant role in smallholder commercialization decision. In the second-stage of Heckman selection estimation family size, education, land allocated for tomato production, frequency of agricultural extension contact, distance to nearest market, productivity, lagged price and inverse mill’s ratio were significantly affect level of tomato commercialization. Thus, the study recommends the need for designing appropriate intervention mechanisms focusing on the abovementioned factors so as to improve the performance of tomato crop commercialization.

Smallholder farmers face many constraints that impede them to derive benefits from market participation. This study assessed factors that influence output side commercialization decision and level of commercialization of red bean crop in Shalla Districts, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. In this study multi stage sampling techniques were employed to select 150 bean producers from five sample kebeles in the study area. Both descriptive and econometric methods were used to analyze the data. Heckman’s two step sample selection model was applied to analyze factors determining commercialization decision and level of commercialization in the bean market. The first-stage probit model estimation results revealed that age of household head, years of schooling, membership cooperative, family size, off-farm activities and active labor affected probability of market participation. Second-stage Heckman selection estimation indicated that age of household head, family size, farm size and years of schooling significantly determined volume of red bean supply. The results also showed that most of the factors determining decision of participation in red bean farm also determine level of participation, suggesting that the two decisions were made simultaneously by red bean producers. Finally, stakeholders should be designing appropriate policies, creating better credit services and agricultural extension services to households, advancing market infrastructure and delivering of marketing incentives to smallholder farmers which would encourage the farmers to participate in the food market.

Striga is the major sorghum production constraints in western Tigray, Ethiopia. Three Striga sick plot locations (Rawyan, Adebay and Beaker Kebeles) were selected during 2019 main cropping season. The objective of the study was to evaluate the Striga suppression effect of Chlorsulfuron 75% WDG (Turkey and china) product herbicides on sorghum. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications and ten (10gram/hectare) Chlorsulfuron 75% WDG were diluted in water and applied three weeks after planting. Striga count at 60 days after planting, at harvesting and grain yield were recorded and analyzed using GenStat 18version. The treatments showed statistically significant difference (p<001) in Striga and grain yield. But, there was no significant variation between the tested herbicides. The highest Striga count (1602.3/plot) was recorded from control followed by china product (365/plot) and turkey (303.3). The highest mean Striga reduction (81.07%) was recorded from Turkey followed by china (77.22%). The highest Striga count was recorded in Adebay (1298.33) followed by Rawyan (631.33) and Beaker (345).17.98 quintal/hectare, 16.11 and 9.55 yield was recorded in Rawyan, beaker and Adebay respectively The highest grain yield 18.33 quintal/hectare was recorded from Turkey product which is 50.19% yield advantage, 16.48 quintal/hectare 44.6% yield advantage in china product while 9.13quintal/hectare from control. From the study result recommended that both the Turkey and china product herbicides will be promoted to further demonstration and popularization at farm level.
