Abstract
Fertilizer application requirement to crops varies from location to location due to several factors. Thus, there is a need to evaluate response of yield and quality of malt barley to liquid fertilizer applications. Accordingly, an experiment was conducted to evaluate different dose of liquid fertilizer applications on yield and yield components of malt barley at Welmera (Holeta and Telecho) and Ejere (Cheri) districts during 2016 and 2017 main cropping season. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments were different doses of Trafos synergy with the recommended NP, that is,0, 100% NP, 100% NP + Trafos synergy 4 L/ha, 100% NP + Trafos synergy 2 L/ha and 100% NP + Trafos synergy 6 L/ha). Applications of recommended NP and Trafos synergy liquid nutrient sources in combination had a significant (p<0.05) effect on grain and biomass yield of malt barley. The highest grain yield (3251.1kg/ha) was obtained from the application of 100% NP + Trafos synergy 6 L/ha) at Cheri. Based on economic analysis, application of 100% recommended NP with Trafos synergy 4 L/ha fertilizer at HARC and Cheri site indicates promising for barley production on yield and grain quality.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important, economically valuable and widely used cereal crops
Experimental Treatments, Design and Procedure Grain yield and quality response of malt barley to special liquid fertilizer (Trafos synergy) experiment was www.iiste.org conducted in major malt barley growing areas in West Showa Zone for two years (2016 and 2017)
The soil textural class was dominated by clay (72%), silt (18.25%) and sand (9.75%) for HARC, while for Cheri clay (73.4%), silt (19.65%) and sand (6.55%), categorized under clay soil for both sites
Summary
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important, economically valuable and widely used cereal crops. Trade corp’s range of differentiated formulas is highly concentrated in micro, macronutrients and bio stimulants This range is developed to meet specific needs of crops which influence quality, such as the protein content, sugar level, photosynthetic activity, etc according to the supplier blogger. It provides a complete improvement of soil fertility. It is a significant to evaluate Trade corp products as new fertilizer for malt barley production under rain fed condition On behalf of these motivations, special liquid fertilizer (Trafos synergy) is applied to improve grain yield and grain quality of malt barley. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of yield and quality of malt barley to liquid fertilizer (Trafos synergy) applications
