The organic fertilizers help to sophisticate the soil structure by nourishing it, enhancing its productivity and at the same time protecting it from being eroded away. Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers are the major limiting factors in most soils. The highland vertisols of Ethiopia are prone to nutrient deficiency especially of N and P as the result of monocropping and leaching losses. An experiment was conducted at Sinana District of Bale highlands, South-eastern Ethiopia on farmers field to evaluate the effect of Organic Liquid Fertilizer “ECO-GREEN” on the Yield and Yield Component of Malt Barley (Singitan Variety). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design using three replications on six levels of treatment. There was significant variation observed in Grain Yield, plant height, seed spike length, seed per spikelet, number of Tiller and Biomass Yield between the level of treatments. Grain yield and yield components were higher at ECO-GREEN level 4 (80 lit/ha-1) across all experimental sites (Shalo, Robe Area and Sambitu). The lower grain yield and yield components observed on the control (sole water) and followed by ECO-GREEN level 1 (20 lit/ha-1) and 2 (40 lit/ha-1). Grain yield was positively correlated with all yield components. Grain yield is very strongly associated with the number of seed per spike. Grain yield is positively correlated and highly associated with seed spike length and Biomass Yield and associated with Plant Height and Number of Tiller.
