Management Strategies For Improving Manure Nutrient Use Efficiency And Productivity Of Subsistent Farmers In Enset-based Farming Systems Of Southern Ethiopia

The overall objective of this study was to evaluate enset clones for nitrogen usernefficiency and identify best manure management practices minimizing losses andrnmaximizing nitrogen use efficiency by the crop. The study consisted of i) evaluation ofrnmanure nitrogen mineralization and nitrification potential ii) effects of rate of manurernnitrogen supply on growth and nitrogen use efficiency of enset clones iii) manurernplacement effects on growth and nutrient recovery efficiency of enset iv) the effect ofrntraditional methods and duration of manure storage on manure chemical composition andrnquality.rnThe results of laboratory incubation study on manure mineralization and nitrificationrnrevealed that addition of manure significantly (P
