Abstract

The experiment was carried out for three year (2019, 2020 and 2021) in the districts of Bako, Uke, and Chawaka with the aim of to determine optimum NPS and nitrogen fertilizers for sesame cultivation. Five level of NPS (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 kg ha^-1) and four level of Nitrogen (0, 23, 6 and 69 kg ha^-1) were used in the experiment. RCBD with three replicates in factorial arrangement was used. The findings indicate that NPS and nitrogen fertilizers had a significant impact on the primary branch, capsules per plant, and yield. Applying of 100 kg NPS x 23 N kg ha^-1 and 100 kg NPS x 46 kg ha^-1 N fertilizers produced the maximum grain yields (10.19 quintals and 10.36 quintals ha^-1) respectively. Low grain yield (6.89 quintals ha^-1) was obtained from 0 kg NPS x 0 kg ha^-1 N fertilizers. A partial budget analysis revealed that the highest net benefit (3130ETB) and marginal rate of return (1330%) obtained from 100 kg NPS x 23 kg N per hectare. Therefore for the production of sesame in the study area, it was advised to utilize fertilizer at a rate of 100 kg NPS ha^-1 + 23 kg N ha^-1.
