Evaluation of Dry Nursery Management in Semi-Arid and Arid Areas of Daro Labu and Habro Districts, West Hararghe Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia
dry nursery, percentage, survival rate, rootshoot ratio
Abstract
The success of plantation program depends to a great extent on success of nursery. Nursery usually, depending on weather condition and bed type. Beds can be made of three types (raised bed, sunken bed and level bed. To this end, we have been undertaken the experiment on evaluation of dry nursery management at arid and semi arid areas in Daro Labu and Habro districts in randomized complete block design with six replications (PAs as replication) in 2013/14 and 2014/15 cropping seasons. Coffee (Mehara-1 ) variety was sown as test crop in sunken bed with different treatments (bare root without plastic sheet, bare root with plastic sheet, polythene tube without plastic sheet and polythene tube with plastic sheet) and normal bed (level bed) as control.
