Influence Of Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates And Varieties On Grain Yield Grain Nutrition And Injera Sensory Quality Of Tef Eragrostis Tef (zucc.)trotter Varieties

Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] is one of major staple crops grown in Ethiopia. Studies have showed that tef has good nutritional composition. Excess applications of N fertilizer can affect the sensory properties of foods. Therefore, afield experiment was conducted to assess the effects of N fertilizer rates on grain nutrition and sensory quality of injera of three tef varieties at Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center in 2017 main cropping season. Three tef varieties (Kora, Boset and Asgori) and five N rates (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg N ha-1) were used in Randomize Completed Block Design with three replications, while Triple Super Phosphate was applied at the same dose for all treatments. Phenological and yield component parameters were determined and significant P
