Predicting Spatial and Temporal Soil Moisture Distribution in an Agricultural Field of Gumara-Maksegnit Watershed, North Gondar, Ethiopia
TropiLakes 2015 Book of Abstracts.
Adapatbility of vetch (Vicia spp)
The farming system of the North Gondar zone is predominantly a crop– livestock mixed farming system; Most ruminant livestock in the zone rely on the local grasses and crop residues for their roughage and much of their ...
Using magnetite tracer to evaluate a novel plot experimental design for the assessment of soil and water conservation impacts of stone bunds in Ethiopia
In the Ethiopian highlands the removal of native forests and rangelands for crop cultivation dramatically increased
the vulnerability of the soils for rainfall driven soil erosion. Overlaid with intensive rainfalls occurring ...
Stove-For-Work: An Approach to Reduce Vulnerability to CC and Improve Livelihoods
The adverse effects of environmental degradation are without a doubt predominantly faced by those whose
livelihoods primarily depend on natural resources. Such is the case for over 85% of the Ethiopian people,
who live in ...
Participatory variety selection of improved food barley varieties
Barley (Hordeum vulgare) has a long history as a domesticated crop. It was
one of the first to be adopted for cultivation and is now produced virtually
worldwide (von Bothmer et al., 2003). In Ethiopia, barley is also one ...
Demonstration and promotion of improved food barley, bread wheat and faba bean technologies
Over the past two to three decades, on-farm trials and demonstration and popularization of improved crop production technologies have been undertaken in several potential areas to promote improved crop technologies and ...
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 ...
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 ...
