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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Determination of rate and time of nitrogen application on wheat (Triticum aestivum) yield and yield related components
The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of rate and time of nitrogen application on growth and yield of bread wheat. The experiment contains thirteen treatments in Randomized Complete Bock Design with three ...
Can improved food legume varieties increase technical efficiency in crop production?
Faba bean (broad bean), field pea, and lentil are very important legumes in the highlands of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the largest producer of faba bean in SSA. In 2012/13, about 4.4 million small holder farmers planted 574,000 ...
Restoring Ethiopian drylands at scale
The goals of this review are to: (i) identify options with proven success and high potential for up-scaling in Ethiopian drylands, (ii) analyze factors underlying relative success in different agro-ecologies and under ...
ICARDA Efforts to Promote In Situ/On-farm Conservation of Dryland Agrobiodiversity
Dryland biodiversity has only recently got due attention because of its potential to contribute in overcoming the effects of global challenges caused by land degradation and and climate change (FAO, 1989). More particularly, ...
The Effect of Ridging and Tie-Ridging time on the yield performance of sorghum
The effect of timing of tie-ridging on the yield and yield components of sorghum was studied at Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Gondar Zuria woreda, Amhara Region, Ethiopia, with budget with a budget support of ICARDA. In the ...
