AMMI and GGE Biplot Analyses for Mega-Environment Identification and Selection of Some High-Yielding Oat (Avena sativa L.) Genotypes for Multiple Environments
This paper reports an evaluation of eleven oat genotypes in four environments for two consecutive years to identify high-biomass-yielding, stable, and broadly adapted genotypes in selected parts of Ethiopia. Genotypes were ...
Spatial distribution and association of biophysical factors with chickpea chlorotic stunt and pea seed-borne mosaic viruses affecting legume crops in Ethiopia
Food legumes are key commodities produced in sole and mixed cropping system in Ethiopia. Their productivity has been affected recently by virus infections. Field surveys were conducted from 2018/19 to 2021/22 cropping ...
Evaluating the impacts of watershed rehabilitation and irrigation interventions on vegetation greenness and soil erosion using remote sensing and biophysical modelling in Feresmay watershed in Ethiopia
Soil erosion and subsequent land degradation undermine efforts to ensure food security and environmental sustainability in Ethiopia. The government of Ethiopia has implemented exten-sive soil and water conservation (SWC) ...
Toward a better understanding of the environmental impacts of expanding farmer-led irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa: an exploratory assessment of irrigation-induced risk of nutrient water pollution in Ethiopia
Irrigation, and especially farmer-led irrigation, is considered to be a promising option for enhancing agricultural productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is a lack of thorough understanding of the impacts of ...
Candidate signatures of positive selection for environmental adaptation in indigenous African cattle: A review
Environmental adaptation traits of indigenous African cattle are increasingly being investigated to respond to the need for sustainable livestock production in the context of unpredictable climatic changes. Several studies ...
The effects of advisory services and technology channeling on farm yields and technical efficiency of wheat farmers in Ethiopia
Improving the performance of low-productivity smallholder farmers is a pathway with great potential for reducing poverty and enhancing food security and nutrition in sub-Saharan Africa. Using experimental data from Ethiopia ...
Assessment of the severity and incidence of Septoria tritici blotch (Zymoseptoria tritici) of wheat in Northwestern Ethiopia
Wheat is a global staple crop, which contributes 20% of the
total dietary proteins and calories. Despite its importance,
wheat production and productivity are affected by various
biotic and abiotic stresses. Septoria ...
Understanding pastoralists’ preferences for goat traits: Application of all-levels and end-point choice experiments
Pastoralists are generally known for carefully selecting and maintaining their livestock. In this study, we examine the preferences of pastoralists for goat traits. We employ discrete choice experiments of all levels and ...
