Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The manuscript entitled: "Yield and Cost Effects of Plot Level Wheat Seed Rates and Seed Recycling Practices in the East Gojam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia: Application of the Dose-Response Model", addresses an important topic related to seed rate and seed recycling. This is a study that deserves to be published because it adds interesting results improve yield in Ethiopia. However, in the writing of the manuscript there are a number of areas that would benefit from clarification and/or more detailed information. The following aspects should be addressed:
Line 67: Please, Indicate what is CBWS
Lines 86 and 87: I would delete this information, It is not relevant for the study “The total population size of the East Gojam zone is estimated to be 2,358,051, out of which 1,154,740 and 1,203,311 were reported to be male and female respectively”.

Line 389: In the equation appear a horizontal line over the text, please correct it.
Line 416: In the equation appear a horizontal line over the text, please correct it. Line 538: Is table A1 or table 1? In the case that this table is table A1, there are two tables 1 in the manuscript, in the case that this table is table 1, It not appear referred in the text.
Lines 545 and 547: I would recommend change the table number in order to avoid confusion with table 2 and 3 in the text.
