  In Sub-Saharan countries more than 95% of agricultural practices were laid on rain-fed. Ethiopia is one of the parts of the Sub-Saharan country and its agricultural practice mostly depends on rain-fed farming system. Highly reliance of agriculture on variable rainfall reduces income of farmers which adversely affects economy of the country. The similar climatic variability was happening in the study area in which rain fall doesn’t fulfil the needs crop up to maturity. To address this problem, two years field experiment was conducted at 2015 and 2016 in Misrak Azernet Berbere Woreda, Southern Ethiopia to evaluate the effects of different supplementary irrigation (SI) levels on yield of potato. The experiment laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five treatments replicated three times. The treatments were:- Rain fed, 100% ETc (crop evapotranspiration).. Read More»
