Assessment of forest cover change and its environmental imacts using multi-temporal and multi-spectral satellite images
Ethiopia has a large number of species of flora and fauna in general and forest resources in particular with a significant rate of endemism. Ethiopian forest cover once was 40 per cent of the country’s land area. Reduction ...
Performance of frequently used interpolation methods to predict spatial distribution of selected soil properties in an agricultural watershed in Ethiopia
Soil maps of an agricultural watershed provide a wealth of knowledge and can be
a vital tool for implementing site specific soil managements. Hence, watershed based soil
assessment was conducted to select an optimum ...
Response of tef row planting to sowing dates on the highland heavy clay soils: Reducing Land Degradation and Farmers’ Vulnerability to Climate Change in the Highland Dry Areas of North-Western Ethiopia
Teff, Eragrostis tef /zucc./ Trotter is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia that occupies (32%), the largest cultivated area under cereals and 26% of the whole area cultivated to annual field crops by covering ...
Predicting the spatial distribution of soil erodibility factor using USLE nomograph in an agricultural watershed, Ethiopia
Soil erosion in the northwestern Amhara region, Ethiopia has been a subject of anxiety, resulting in a major environmental threat to the sustainability and productive capacity of agricultural areas. This study tried to ...
Determination of Weeding Frequency to Increase Production and Productivity of Sorghum
Sorghum (sorghum bicolor) is primarily a rain fed crop with low input management.
Sorghum production has so many constraints, insect pest, disease and weed infestation
are the most known among of them. Farmers in Ethiopia ...
Intensification strategies for Ethiopian Watershed: Incentives, Niches and Policy Implication
This presentation of ICRISSAT explains the difference in perception about watershed management under changing climates; Showing different case study examples
Highlight of available crop technologies in Amhara region
The author compares different types of technologies ( Technologies supported with formal seed system - Technologies with more informal seed system - Technologies targeted for domestic industry and export market - Pest ...
Variation of Selected Soil Properties in Relation to Land Use Types and Slope Steepness in a Mountainous Watershed, Ethiopia
Deforestation of the native forests for crop production in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed,
located in the Lake Tana basin, Ethiopia, dramatically increases the vulnerability of the soil for
rainfall driven erosion. Hence, ...
Predicting soil attributes for environmental modelling
The UNPRA–Ethiopia project ‘Unlocking the potential of rainfed agriculture in Ethiopia for improved rural livelihoods’ aims to improve the livelihoods of rural communities in the rainfed agro-ecosystem of the Amhara region ...
