Performance evaluation of bread wheat varieties
Bread wheat is one of the most staple food crops in the world and one of the
most important cereals cultivated in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the largest wheat
producer in sub-Saharan Africa with 1.1 million hectares (ha) of ...
Selection and socio-economic and biophysical characterization of Gumara-Maksegnit watershed research site
Bread wheat is one of the most staple food crops in the world and one of the most important cereals cultivated in Ethiopia. The most suitable agro-ecological zones for wheat production fall between 1,900 and 2,700 meters ...
