A Multivariate Analysis of Factors Affecting Adoption of Improved Varieties of Multiple Crops: A Case Study from Ethiopian Highlands
This paper analyzes the synergies/tradeoffs involved in the adoption of improved varieties of
multiple crops in the mixed crop-livestock production systems of the highlands of Ethiopia A
multivariate probit (MVP) model ...
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 ...
Tracking Adoption and Diffusion of Improved Chickpea Varieties at District, Zonal, Regional and National Levels in Ethiopia: Comparison of Various Approaches
Using several complementary data collection approaches including desk reviews, expert panel interviews, community and household sample survey, this study provides national, regional and zonal level estimates of adoption ...
Characterization of the goat population and breeding practices of goat owners
