Meteorological drought assessment in north east highlands of Ethiopia
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the patterns and trends of drought incidence in north east highlands of Ethiopia using monthly rainfall record for the period 1984-2014.

Modelling land-use decisions in production systems involving multiple crops and varieties
This paper argues and provides empirical evidence that trade-offs and/or complementarities are
inherent in technological options that shape the adoption of and land-use decisions in production
systems involving multiple ...
Are farmers willing to pay for climate related traits of wheat? Evidence from rural parts of Ethiopia
Wheat production in Ethiopia faces numerous climate related constraints that entail development and dissemination of wheat germplasms with yield stabilizing traits under climate related challenges such as frost, drought, ...
Community typology framed by normative climate for agricultural innovation, empowerment, and poverty reduction
This paper employs the concepts of gender norms and agency to advance understanding of
inclusive agricultural innovation processes and their contributions to empowerment and poverty
reduction at the village level. We present ...
Does Intensive Tillage Enhance Productivity and Reduce Risk Exposure? Panel Data Evidence from Smallholders’ Agriculture in Ethiopia
We analyse the impact of intensity of tillage on wheat productivity and risk exposure using panel household‐plot level data from Ethiopia. In order to control for selection bias, we estimate a flexible moment‐based production ...
Yield of chromosomally engineered durum wheat-Thinopyrum ponticum recombinant lines in a range of contrasting rain-fed environments
Introgressions of Thinopyrum ponticum 7AgL chromosome segments, spanning 23%, 28% and 40% of the distal end of durum wheat 7AL arm, were previously shown to contain multiple beneficial gene(s)/QTL for yield-related traits, ...
Impact of agricultural extension services on the adoption of improved wheat variety in Ethiopia: A cluster randomized controlled trial
Although many studies have shown that sub-Saharan African countries could increase agricultural productivity and output through better technologies and improved crop varieties, the adoption of yield-enhancing technologies ...
Screening of Drought Tolerant Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes using Yield Based Drought Tolerance Indices
Drought is one of the major abiotic constraints seriously influencing bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype production in Ethiopia. Genetic resources and selection methodologies are among the prerequisites to improve ...
