Effect of deficit irrigation on growth and yield of onion, Allium cepa
The effect of deficit irrigation (DI) on the yield and yield components of onion was studied with a budget support of ICARDA. In the study area, irrigation practices are common mainly for two crops, onion and garlic. The ...
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 ...
Demonstration and Evaluation of Water Harvesting and Supplementary Irrigation to improve Green pepper productivity
The effect of supplementary irrigation (SI) and nitrogen (N) fertiliser on the yield and yield components of green pepper was studied at Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Gondar Zuria woreda, Amhara Region, Ethiopia, with budget ...
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.
Chickpea participatory variety selection for the vertisol of the watershed
Chickpea is one of the most important food grains in the diets of Ethiopian
people. Ethiopia is the largest producer of chickpea in Africa, and the sixth
largest producer in the world, with over 200,000 hectares under ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
