Field experimental assessment of soil erosion processes at different scales in Gumara-Maksegnit watershed
Rainfall-driven soil erosion and consequential land degradation are among the major threats of the
mountainous landscape of Lake Tana Basin. In the course of a bilaterally funded project led by the
International Center for ...
Soil erosion assessment and crop management as strategies for watershed management improvement
Land degradation and low agricultural productivity are severe problems in the highlands of Ethiopia. Various soil and water conservation (SWC) strategies have been in use to tackle soil erosion. However, the effectiveness ...
Seed Info No. 26
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and communication among seed staff in the Central,
West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. The purpose is to contribute towards the development of stronger national seed ...
Improving Agricultural Extension Systems for Wider Adoption of Technologies: Project highlights and main objectives
This introduction on the project inception workshop summarizes the project highlights and main objectives of the project Designing effective Extension Service Delivery Systems for Enhancing Wider Adoption of Agricultural ...
Tracking Adoption of Improved Barley Varieties in Ethiopia
Report on Tracking Adoption of Improved Barley Varieties in Ethiopia
Current and residual effects of compost and inorganic fertilizer on wheat and soil chemical properties
Restoring soil fertility in smallholder
farming systems is essential to sustain crop production.
An experiment was conducted in 2011 and 2012
to study the effect of compost and inorganic fertilizer
application on soil ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
Phenotypic variability and characteristics of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm of Ethiopia by multivariate analysis
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is an important crop in Ethiopian highlands. Its productivity is very low
due to low yielding landraces and other factors. The objectives of this study were to classify groups of
genotypes ...
Measuring the effectiveness of extension innovations for out-scaling agricultural technologies
Low adoption levels of agricultural technologies undermine the impacts of national and international agricultural research. Using a combination of an ordered logit and Heckman selection models and a case study from an ...
Soil and water conservation effects of stone bunds at different scales – a case study from Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia
Various soil and water conservation (SWC) interventions across the Ethiopian farmlands are supposed to prevent ongoing land degradation and soil depletion related to rainfall driven soil erosion.
