Agronomic and Economic Performance of Rain-Fed Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Production under Varying Sowing Dates and Multinutrient Fertilizer Levels in Shire Area, Northern Ethiopia

<div>Effect of sowing dates and multinutrient fertilizer application levels on ear seed weight (a), 100 seed weight (b), and grain yield (c) for the two consecutive growing seasons in 2018-2019 and their average values. Vertical bars represent the standard error of the mean. The treatments are noted as SD1, sowing date 1 (June 1 in 2018 and May 26 in 2019); SD2, sowing date 2 (June 7 in 2018 and June 3 in 2019); SD3, sowing date 3 (June 12 in 2018 and June 8 in 2019); SD4, sowing date 4 (June 16 in 2018 and June 12 in 2019): F0, no fertilizer application; F1, 100 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>; F2, 200 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>; F3, 300 kg·ha<sup>−1</sup>.</div>
