Spatial and Temporal impacts of stone bunds on soil physical properties: a case study in the Northern Ethiopian Highlands
Central issue of rain fed agriculture systems in the Ethiopian highlands is to store rain
water in the soil during the rainy season. The aim is to maximize plant available water and
to reduce surface runoff and soil ...
Monitoring and simulation of soil erosion in the Ethiopian Highlands on a plot scale
Soil erosion is the main driving force for global land degradation. Soil erosion measurements
are an important tool to assess soil loss under site-specific conditions and evaluate the impact
of changes in land use on its ...
Elements of Research Strategy and Priorities for Sustainable Agricultural Development of Highlands in Central, West Asia and North Africa
The main objectives of this report is to review the current status, constraints and potential of
highlands in Iran, Morocco and Turkey and to define elements of a research strategy and
ICARDA’s research priorities for ...
Iron, Vitamin C, Phenolic and Phytic acid Concentration of Biofortified Potatoes as Affected by Location
The effect of growing location on concentrations of iron, zinc, vitamin C, phenolics, phytic acid and glycoalkaloids of six iron biofortified potato clones and two potato varieties was determined.
Significant variation ...
The Role of Early Sowing with Supplemental Irrigation in Cool Highland Environments
The per capita wheat consumption in the Central and West Asia and North
Africa (CWANA) region is the highest in the world. Therefore, the crop occupies a major share
of arable land annually in the region-as much as 70% of ...
Gathering Wisdom from the Field: Participatory Technology Development in Upper Karkheh River Basin, Iran
CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food
The project combined a large-scale analysis of the Karkheh River Basin, Iran, by GIS and rapid assessments, with detailed natural resources assessments, gender and livelihood ...
Response of tef row planting to sowing dates on the highland heavy clay soils: Reducing Land Degradation and Farmers’ Vulnerability to Climate Change in the Highland Dry Areas of North-Western Ethiopia
Teff, Eragrostis tef /zucc./ Trotter is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia that occupies (32%), the largest cultivated area under cereals and 26% of the whole area cultivated to annual field crops by covering ...
The adsorption of Strontium on soils developed in arid region as influenced by clay content and soluble cations
The present work was performed in order to investigate behavior of Sr adsorption in a saline-sodic soil and a
normal soil developed in arid environment in Central Iran.
Soil conservation measures in the Ethiopian Highlands: The effectiveness of stone bunds on soil erosion processes
Extensive land degradation in the Ethiopian Highlands jeopardizes rural livelihood. Intensified by increasing population pressure, farmers are forced to expand their arable land by deforestation and thus worsening the soil ...
Agro·ecological zones of Karkheh River Basin: A reconnaissance assessment of climatic and edaphic patterns and their similarity to areas inside and outside the Basin
CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food - Improving livelihood resilience by integrated natural resource management in upper catchments of dry areas (pn24) and improving on-farm agricultural water productivity in the ...
