Effect of deficit irrigation on growth and yield of onion, Allium cepa
The effect of deficit irrigation (DI) on the yield and yield components of onion was studied with a budget support of ICARDA. In the study area, irrigation practices are common mainly for two crops, onion and garlic. The ...
Current and residual effects of compost and inorganic fertilizer on wheat and soil chemical properties
Restoring soil fertility in smallholder
farming systems is essential to sustain crop production.
An experiment was conducted in 2011 and 2012
to study the effect of compost and inorganic fertilizer
application on soil ...
Introducing fuel saving stove to combat environmental degradation and climate change in the Gumara-Maksegnit Watershed
The study presented here is a result of collaborative efforts among researchers in the
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) and Gondar Agricultural
Research Center (GARC). We gratefully ...
Demonstration and Evaluation of Water Harvesting and Supplementary Irrigation to improve Green pepper productivity
The effect of supplementary irrigation (SI) and nitrogen (N) fertiliser on the yield and yield components of green pepper was studied at Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Gondar Zuria woreda, Amhara Region, Ethiopia, with budget ...
Using accurate detection tools to develop a successful management strategy for lentil and chickpea viruses in farmers' fields in the highlands of Ethiopia
Since 2019, farmers in the highlands of Ethiopia are losing their chickpea and lentil crops because of virus epidemics, and lentil production area in Ethiopia was reduced due to the virus infection. Based on FAOSTAT, lentil ...
Soil and water conservation effects of stone bunds at different scales – a case study from Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia
Various soil and water conservation (SWC) interventions across the Ethiopian farmlands are supposed to prevent ongoing land degradation and soil depletion related to rainfall driven soil erosion.
Socio-economic characterization of Gumara-Maksegnit watershed
Watershed degradation in Ethiopia has been intensified by a combination of factors such as improper agricultural practices on steep slopes, indiscriminate cutting of trees for fuel and construction and illegal/improper ...
Chickpea participatory variety selection for the vertisol of the watershed
Chickpea is one of the most important food grains in the diets of Ethiopian
people. Ethiopia is the largest producer of chickpea in Africa, and the sixth
largest producer in the world, with over 200,000 hectares under ...
Seed transmission rates of Pea seed-borne mosaic virus among lentil genotypes in Ethiopia
Evaluation of Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) seed transmission rate among 62 different lentil genotypes was carried out during 2021-2023 at Amhara Regional Agricultural Research ...
Assessing the impact of soil and water conservation structures in the Ethiopian highlands. A case study from the Lake Tana Basin.
Without well planned adaptation efforts climate change is predicted to affect the agricultural
sector in Eastern Africa and to ultimately reduce agricultural yields and hamper efforts to achieve
food security and reduce ...
