Morphological characteristics and linear body measurements of Doyogena sheep in Doyogena district of SNNPR, Ethiopia
Description of the physical characteristics of livestock breeds is very important for developing a breeding strategy in a particular production system. Doyogena sheep are among the potential breeds of Ethiopia reared in ...
Testing wild relative of chickpea under different experimental conditions for TE and plant water budget
Three types of assessment were made: (i) the transpiration response to increasing VPD (ii) the transpiration response to soil drying; (iii) the plant water budget of these wild germplasm. 16 wild and 5 cultivated entries ...
Operationalizing land degradation neutrality for land restoration activities within the Gilgal Abay watershed, Lake Tana sub-basin, northwestern Ethiopia
Land degradation is a serious and extensive issue, which affects approximately 23% of the Earth’s land area and impacts an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide. Despite global efforts to halt land degradation, the area ...
Abergelle goat climate similarity in Ethiopia
This map was prepared for Livestock and fish CRP project for Mapping breeds to appropriate production environments: a case study of Ethiopian indigenous sheep and goats. Abergelle goat climate similarity in Ethiopia at 30 ...
Screening cowpea germplasm (cultivated and wild relatives) for aphid resistance
A total set of 376 entries including 374 mini-core accessions, 1 resistant check (TVu801) and 1 susceptible check (TVx 3236) were evaluated in screening cages at Kano and screen house at Cotonou for resistance to cowpea ...
Guidelines for Setting up Community-based Sheep Breeding Programs in Ethiopia: Lessons and experiences for sheep breeding in low-input systems
These guidelines are designed for all those involved in planning and implementing sheep breeding activities with resource-poor farmers in developing countries. This includes research centers, non-governmental organizations ...
Quantifying Yield Potential and Yield Gaps of Faba Bean in Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the major faba bean growing countries in the world but with a low average national yield (≤ 2 t ha-1) compared to yield levels in other countries. The objective of this study was to determine potential ...
Gaps in spatial data for social, ecological and economic systems
The development and trialling of composite indicators, the pilot spatial tool and
indicators for use in Monitoring and Evaluation has resulted in evidential gaps in
the data. This summary paper documents these initial gaps ...
Trait‐based approaches for guiding the restoration of degraded agricultural landscapes in East Africa
1. Functional ecology provides a framework that can link vegetation characteristics of various land uses with ecosystem function. However, this application has been mostly limited to [semi‐]natural systems and small spatial ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1983/84
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
