Modeling Farmers’ Adoption Decisions of Multiple Crop Technologies: The Case of Barley and Potatoes in Ethiopia
This paper argues and provides empirical evidence that adoption decisions on multiple technologies involve a series of three sequential sub-decisions. Using a multivariate tobit and multivariate probit models and a nationally ...
Multi-location testing of a global collection of elite chickpea genotypes to identify stable sources of resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the most devastating disease that limits the productivity and production of chickpea in the world. The lack of high levels ...
Alternative Breeding Scenarios for Abergelle Goat Breed Suited to Arid Climate in Ethiopia
The economic significance of goats in Ethiopia include small initial investment requirement, high survival rate during drought conditions, higher off-take and complementary feeding habit (ESGPP, 2009). These invite improving ...
Alternative Hosts of Yellow Dwarf Viruses (YDVs) and Sources of Resistance in Barley in Ethiopia

diseases group is yellow dwarf viruses (YDVs). Alternative hosts play an important role in the
epidemiology of YDVs. Studies ...
