Abstract

Teff (Eragrostis tef) occupies close to three million hectares of agricultural land in Ethiopia, nonetheless, realized yields remain substantially below the crop’s inherent genetic yield potential. Thus, this study aimed to examine how different sowing rates and methods impacted productivity of teff varieties in Mojana Wodera Woreda. The treatments included three varieties of teff (namely, Quncho, Kora and Abolse (local variety), three sowing rates (10, 15 and 20 kg ha −1), and three sowing methods (15 cm and 20 cm spacing between rows and broad casting). The interaction effect of seed rate, sowing method and variety significantly affected crop growth and yield parameters (P
