Performance of frequently used interpolation methods to predict spatial distribution of selected soil properties in an agricultural watershed in Ethiopia
Soil maps of an agricultural watershed provide a wealth of knowledge and can be
a vital tool for implementing site specific soil managements. Hence, watershed based soil
assessment was conducted to select an optimum ...
Response of tef row planting to sowing dates on the highland heavy clay soils: Reducing Land Degradation and Farmers’ Vulnerability to Climate Change in the Highland Dry Areas of North-Western Ethiopia
Teff, Eragrostis tef /zucc./ Trotter is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia that occupies (32%), the largest cultivated area under cereals and 26% of the whole area cultivated to annual field crops by covering ...
Determination of Weeding Frequency to Increase Production and Productivity of Sorghum
Sorghum (sorghum bicolor) is primarily a rain fed crop with low input management.
Sorghum production has so many constraints, insect pest, disease and weed infestation
are the most known among of them. Farmers in Ethiopia ...
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, ...
Predicting soil attributes for environmental modelling
The UNPRA–Ethiopia project ‘Unlocking the potential of rainfed agriculture in Ethiopia for improved rural livelihoods’ aims to improve the livelihoods of rural communities in the rainfed agro-ecosystem of the Amhara region ...
Modeling streamflow and sediment using SWAT in Ethiopian Highlands
The coincidence of intensive rainfall events at the beginning of the rainy season and unprotected soil conditions after extreme dry spells expose the Ethiopian Highlands to severe soil erosion. Soil and water conservation ...
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 ...
Assessment of current land use and potential soil and water conservation measures on surface run-off and sediment yield
Soil erosion has accelerated in most regions of the world, especially in developing countries, due to various socio-economic and demographic factors and limited expertise (Bayramin et al., 2002). Geographically, soil erosion ...
Ties that Bind: Ethiopia and ICARDA
Ethiopia and ICARDA have worked together for more than 30 years, to promote sustainable agricultural development in dry areas. This booklet describes the results of this partnership: new technologies and research methods, ...
Field experimental assessment of soil erosion processes at different scales in Gumara-Maksegnit watershed
Rainfall-driven soil erosion and consequential land degradation are among the major threats of the
mountainous landscape of Lake Tana Basin. In the course of a bilaterally funded project led by the
International Center for ...
