Abstract
The experiment was conducted at Kulumsa, South East Ethiopia, using four levels of nitrogen (N) (0, 50,100 and 150 kg N ha−1) and four levels of phosphorus (P) (0, 35, 70 and 105 kg P2O5 ha−1) fertilizers arranged in 4 × 4 factorial arrangements in randomized complete block design with three replications. The available P was increased after harvest due to the application of N and P fertilizer at the rates of 100 or 150 kg N ha−1 and 70 or 105 kg P2O5 ha−1. More specifically, nutrients concentration and nutrient uptake were significantly (p < .01) varied among treatment combinations and nutrient use efficiency was declined by increasing N and P after optimum rates. The higher physiological efficiency of N (53.47 kg kg−1) and P (580.41 kg kg−1) and the highest apparent recovery of N (19.62%) and P (2.47%) was recorded from application of 50 kg N ha−1 and P at 70 kg P2O5 ha−1 and the highest agronomic efficiency of N (10.78 kg kg−1) and P (15.25 kg kg−1) was recorded from N at the rate of 50 kg N ha−1 and P at 35 kg P2O5 ha−1, respectively. The combination of N at 100 kg N ha−1 and P at 70 kg P2O5 ha−1 was promising combination that generated highest net benefit 488,878.5 ETB (Ethiopian birr) ha−1 with the highest marginal rate of return (36638%) and gave the highest seed yield (1858.82 kg ha−1) with yield increment of about 57.72% over the control.
