Finance and Management of Small-scale Seed Enterprises
One of the key changes taking place in many countries is the greater participation of the
the private sector in seed production and supply, reflecting a general shift in economic policy.
There is, therefore, a need to ...
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.
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 ...
Evaluation of the Impact of Stone Bunds on Soil Loss and Surface Runoff in the Gumara Maksegnit Watershed, Northern Highlands of Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is highly affected by land degradation and one of the key problems is soil erosion. It is mainly caused by
the rapid population increase, deforestation, low vegetation cover and unbalanced livestock and crop ...
Predicting Spatial and Temporal Soil Moisture Distribution in an Agricultural Field of Gumara-Maksegnit Watershed, North Gondar, Ethiopia
TropiLakes 2015 Book of Abstracts.
Barley Research and Development in Ethiopia. Proceedings of the 2nd National Barley Research and Development Review Workshop.
Barley is thought to have originated in the Fertile Crescent area of the Near East from the wild progenitor Hordeum spontaneum. It is one of the first cereals to have been domesticated, having been cultivated for more than ...
Investigation of the impact of stone bunds on soil water content - A case study in the northern Ethiopian Highland
During rainy season (June to September) soil erosion by surface runoff is a major issue and a big challenge
for soil conservation scenarios in the northern Ethiopian highland. For reduction of water erosion and thereby
decrease ...
Impact of vetch cover crop on runoff, soil loss, soil chemical properties and yield of chickpea in North Gondar
Cover crops improve the sustainability and quality of both natural system and agro ecosystem. In GumaraMaksegnit
watershed which is located in Lake Tana basin, farmers usually use fallow during the rainy season for
the ...
Review of Community Seed Production Practices in Africa Part 1: Implementation Strategies and Models
This review is limited in scale and scope and covers five case studies in Africa. Two of the studies are classic emergency interventions: one post-conflict and one post drought. Three of the case studies are developmental ...
Comparison of SWAT and GeoWEPP model in predicting the impact of stone bunds on runoff and erosion processes in the Northern Ethiopian Highlands.
In the Ethiopian Highlands deforestation increased the vulnerability of the soils due to rainfall driven soil erosion (Addis et at. 2016; Nyssen et al. 2000). To tackle this soil erosion problem soil and water conservation ...
