Abstract

Lack of suitable varities and decline of soil can cause asubstantial yield loss in Sorghum in Ethiopia. An experiment was conducted at Tole Kebele 2022/2023 main cropping season. Three Sorghum Varieties (Merera, Jaba, Local) and Five rates of NPS fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150,200 kg ha^-1) were laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement with three replications. Days to heading (P>0.01) was signifantly affected by varities but not affected signifantly by NPS rate. The earliest day to head was recoreded at Jaba Variety while the longest day was recorded at local Variety. Plant height also Significantly affected by intrercation between Variety and NPS fertilizer rate. The highest (218.3 cm) plant height was recorded at Local with 200 kg ha^-1NPS. Varierty and NPS was significantly affected by Panicle length. The height panicle length was recorded at Local varierty and 200 kg NPS. Leaf area was (P>0.001) affected by interaction between variety and NPS fertilizer rate. The Maximum leaf area (2549 cm²) was recorded at local variety with 200 kg while the lowest leaf area (1161 cm²) was recorded at Jaba variety with 0 NPS. Grain yeild is also (P>0.05) affected by interaction between Variety and NPS rate. the highest Grain yeild (2986 kg ha^-1)was recorded at Merera variety with 200 kg ha^-1 while the mimium yeild (1141 kg ha^-1) was recorded at Jaba variety with 0 kg ha^-1. Regarding economic analysis, the maximum (44678 Birr ha^–1) net benefit and the maximum (161.16%) marginal rate of return (MRR) was recorded at the combination of merera 200 kg NPS and Jaba 200 NPS respectively.
