most important cereals cultivated in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the largest wheat
producer in sub-Saharan Africa with 1.1 million hectares (ha) of ...
Variation of Selected Soil Properties in Relation to Land Use Types and Slope Steepness in a Mountainous Watershed, Ethiopia
Deforestation of the native forests for crop production in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed,
located in the Lake Tana basin, Ethiopia, dramatically increases the vulnerability of the soil for
rainfall driven erosion. Hence, ...
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 ...
