Abstract
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is major food crop of semi-aid of tropics of Africa and Asia which is indigenous to Ethiopia. The experiment was conducted in western part of Ethiopia Bako, B/Boshe and Gute in 2020-2022 cropping season with the objective of identifying the optimum and economically feasible integrated decomposed cattle manure and in-organic fertilizer for finger millet production in western part of Ethiopia. The experiment contains five level of in organic fertilizer 0, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of recommended inorganic fertilizer and four level of decomposed cattle manure 0, 3tone/ha, 6tone/ha and 9tone/ha combined in factorial arrangement in RCBD design. The integrated fertilizer affected grain yield, dry biomass, ear length, harvest index, effective tillers per plant, number of fingers per plant and plant height. The highest grain yield 2546kg/ha was observed on integration of 100% and 9tone/ha when 2195kg/ha from the integration of 6tone/ha and 75% recommended fertilizer. The number of effective tillers per plant was not affected by the fertilizer. In economic analysis both integration of 100% with 9ton and 75% with 6tone/ha were economically feasible having 758 and 998 MRR respectively. Using 75% recommended fertilizer and 6tone/hectare is more economical. Therefore, it is advisable for farmers using the integration of 6tone/ha and 75% recommended inorganic fertilizer.
