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 ...
Genetic Diversity Study of Ethiopian Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Varieties Using Phenotypic Traits, ISSR and SNP Markers
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the earliest food legumes of the world used as source of high protein for human and animal consumption. In Ethiopia, no studies were conducted on faba bean varieties genetic diversity ...
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 ...
Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: taking successes in land restoration to scale
The present document is a brief technical report highlighting activities relating to the options by context approach. The IFAD- funded project, “Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East ...
Participatory adaptation of hot pepper varieties for green pod production under irrigation
The present situation in North Gondar Zone indicates that, there are limited Capsicum species and varieties including both improved and the local ones. As a result, varietal information for the improvement of the crop for ...
Evaluation of under-sowing Vetch in sorghum for intensifying production systems
The objectives of the research were i) to explore the production potential of diversified sorghum- forage legumes intercropping systems under different planting patterns, and ii) to evaluate the possible amount of forage ...
Improving wheat production in the CWANA region
Wheat is the principal staple food in most countries of the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region, accounting for 45% of the region’s per capita calorie intake with an average wheat consumption of about 200 ...
Exploration of cultural norms and practices influencing women’s participation in chickpea participatory varietal selection training activities: A case study of Ada’a and Ensaro districts, Ethiopia
In order to encourage gender equality in delivery of varietal knowledge to male and female farmers in Ada‟a and Ensaro districts of Ethiopia, chickpea breeders set a policy that each male farmer would bring along his wife ...
DNA markers reveal genetic structure and localized diversity of Ethiopian sorghum landraces
North Eastern Ethiopia is a major sorghum-growing region. A total of 415 sorghum landraces were
sampled to represent the range of agro-ecologies (three altitude ranges) as well as spatial
heterogeneity, that is, 4 zones: ...
