Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. Var. Durum) is an indigenous predominant tetraploid wheat species and well grown in Ethiopia. It is good amount and a source of protein, fibers and minerals. In Ethiopia, more than 42 durum wheat varieties were released for production since 1950s. However, the national average yield of the crop is not more than 2.6 tons/hectare, which is far the potential yield of crop 6-8 tone/hectare. Conversely, the demand for durum wheat has steadily increased in country the last decades, particularly due to the emergence of many food processing industries. These calls for increasing yield and improving of grain quality traits are a major task in Ethiopia. The review was emphasized research achievements, limitation, gaps, and future outlook on macro and micro nutrients uses and their synergy, where durum wheat is the principal crop cultivation. It has been indicated growth, productivity and grain quality are largely improved both by macro and micro nutrients together with elite cultivars of the durum wheat. The maximum crop growth rate, relative growth rate, leaf area index, yield components, yield, protein contents, wet gluten, dry gluten, hectoliter weight, and gluten index where improved by combined application of macro nutrients (N, P2O5, S) and micronutrients such as (Boron). We, therefore, suggested that, research on the macro and micronutrient strategies are most important for the durum wheat production and productivity, while the soil phsico-chemicals analysis stills deserve outmost attention.

Var. Durum) is an indigenous predominant tetraploid wheat species and well grown in Ethiopia. It is good amount and a source of protein, fibers and minerals. In Ethiopia, more than 42 durum wheat varieties were released for production since 1950s. However, the national average yield of the crop is not more than 2.6 tons/hectare, which is far the potential yield of crop 6-8 tone/hectare. Conversely, the demand for durum wheat has steadily increased in country the last decades, particularly due to the emergence of many food processing industries. These calls for increasing yield and improving of grain quality traits are a major task in Ethiopia. The review was emphasized research achievements, limitation, gaps, and future outlook on macro and micro nutrients uses and their synergy, where durum wheat is the principal crop cultivation. It has been indicated growth, productivity and grain quality are largely improved both by macro and micro nutrients together with elite cultivars of the durum wheat. The maximum crop growth rate, relative growth rate, leaf area index, yield components, yield, protein contents, wet gluten, dry gluten, hectoliter weight, and gluten index where improved by combined application of macro nutrients (N, P2O5, S) and micronutrients such as (Boron). We, therefore, suggested that, research on the macro and micronutrient strategies are most important for the durum wheat production and productivity, while the soil phsico-chemicals analysis stills deserve outmost attention.
