  Growth stage based deficit irrigation is an important way of managing irrigation water by identifying the most sensitive growth stages to apply the required amount of water on these sensitive growth stages. A field experiment was conducted at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia, latitude 8°25'59'', longitude 39°01'44'' and altitude of 1800 m.a.s.l to investigate the effect of water stress at different growth stage on yield and water productivity of rosemary. A combination of four deficit levels (100%, 85%, 70% and 55% ETc) and four growths stages (initial, development, mid and late) were used as treatments with three replications to evaluate the yield and yield component of rosemary in split plot arrangement. Different growth stage based deficit irrigation significantly affected all recorded yield and yield components of rosemary includin.. View more»
