Abstract: A field trial was conducted at Menagesha Cheshire Rehabilitation center to investigate the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus application on growth and yield of stevia during 2014/15 and 2015/16 cropping season in supplementary irrigation. The treatments consisted of four levels of N (0, 23, 46, and 96kg ha-1) and four levels of P (0, 10, 20 and 30kg ha-1) arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The main effect of nitrogen had a significant influence on leaf and above-ground biomass yield of Stevia. The main effect of phosphorous had no significant effect on all of the parameters.
