Abstract:

An experiment was conducted at Masha Woreda, Sheka zone, Southwestern Ethiopia for two consecutive years to investigate the effect of Erythrina bruci biomass transfer combined with nitrogen and phosphorus rates on yield and yield components of wheat. Ten rates of combination (two rates of Erythrina bruci biomass calculated based on N equivalence (50% Erythrina and 100% Erythrina in N equivqlence) combined to three rates of NP (50% Rec. NP, 100%Rec. NP and only Rec. P) as well as two controls (negative and positive control) were applied in randomized complete block design with four blocks. Data collected on growth and yield parameters were analyzed using SAS software version 9.2. The result of first year was non-significant on yield and also dry biomass weight. The result obtained at second year was however significant (p
