Abstract

Periodic assessment of soil fertility status and plant nutrients requirement of a given area has vital role in enhancing sustainable crop production. A study was conducted in Dabo Hana district on twelve farmers' fields during 2018 and 2019 main cropping seasons to determine NPS fertilizer rate based on calibrated phosphorus for maize. The experimental design was completely randomized block design in three replication. Five rates of Phosphorus critical level (Pc) (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) calculated from NPS fertilizer and previously recommended 100% Pc calculated from DAP fertilizer was included as check were tried on hybrid maize (BH 661) for yield and yield component. Results showed that all Pc rates significantly increased the plant above ground bio mass, grain yield, thousand grain weight and hasten maturity of hybrid maize over control. Phosphorus critical level rate of 100% Pc from NPS gave maximum biomass yield (31.0 t ha^-1), grain yield (8.7t ha^-1) and thousand grain weight (480.0 g) followed by 100% Pc from DAP, while a partial budget analysis result also revealed that fertilizer application rate of 100% Pc from NPS offered net return of 27340 ETB ha^-1 followed closely by 100% Pc from DAP (24971 ETB ha^-1) which were substantially greater than the rest of the fertilizer treatments. Hence, fertilizer application rate of 100% Pc from NPS and DAP fertilizers appear the most appropriate for intensification of maize production in Dabo Hana district.
