    Abstract: In Ethiopia, knowledge about integrated seed and N fertilizer rates aimed at increasing the nutritional quality of durum wheat is limited. To full fill this gap, four levels of seed rate (i.e. 100, 125, 150, and 175 kg ha-1) and four levels of N rate (i.e. 0, 46, 92, and 138 kg ha-1) were arranged in randomized complete block design under two growi...

    Abstract: Bacterial blight poses a significant threat to sesame production in Ethiopia, especially in regions with high rainfall. It causes yield reduction and affects seed quality by inducing premature leaf defoliation. To address these challenges, evaluating existing germplasm for disease resistance is crucial. This study assessed various sesame genotypes ... Show More
