Response of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to Different Blended Fertilizer Application A-Review

Abstract

Wheat is the most important and widely cultivated crop of the entire world. It is principal food of human beings and Ethiopia is one of the important wheat producing countries in world. Wheat responds well to fertilizer application with balance nutrients for increased wheat productivity. Fertilizer is the most important input, which contributes significantly towards final grain yield of wheat and to exploit the inherited potential of cultivar, but productivity wheat for long time was low due to the absence of essential/unbalanced crop nutrition. To overcome this problem Ministry of Agriculture and Natural resource introduced different blended fertilizer according to soil test in different parts of the country. Recently farmers in most part of country  are using  this newly introduced blended fertilizers like NPS, NPSB, NPSBZn, which was replaced by, DAP, are most essential  nutrient containing fertilizer which used for plant growth quality, yield  as well as plays a fundamental role in metabolism and energy producing reaction. These blended fertilizers are currently fulfilling farmers/ producers demands by increasing their production and productivity as shown by different researchers. This review was mainly focused on the response of wheat to different blended fertilizers.
