The study presented here is a result of collaborative efforts among researchers in the
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) and Gondar Agricultural
Research Center (GARC). We gratefully ...
Minutes of a workshop on Developing Small Ruminant Breeding programs
In Ethiopia there has been different attempts at developing breeding programs either for selective breeding or crossbreeding. Different institutions also follow varying approaches including nucleus and community-based ...
Demonstration and Evaluation of Water Harvesting and Supplementary Irrigation to improve Green pepper productivity
The effect of supplementary irrigation (SI) and nitrogen (N) fertiliser on the yield and yield components of green pepper was studied at Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Gondar Zuria woreda, Amhara Region, Ethiopia, with budget ...
Identification of genetic sources of improved responses to nitrogen fixing rhizobacteria and other plant growth promoting microbes
This is report of Nitrogen fixation
What role for legumes in sustainable intensification? – case studies in Western Kenya and Northern Ghana for PROIntensAfrica
N2Africa was selected as a case study within the PROIntensAfrica initiative. In this case study, N2Africa focused on the potential role of legumes in sustainable intensification. The case study was conducted in two of the ...
Narrowing the yield gap of food legumes through integrated management of parasitic weeds in the highlands of Ethiopia
The project was implemented in two districts of the Amhara region of Ethiopia. The parasitic weed (Orobanche crenata) is distributed in different districts of the Northern highlands expanding its ecological range since ...
Participatory adaptation of hot pepper varieties for green pod production under irrigation
The present situation in North Gondar Zone indicates that, there are limited Capsicum species and varieties including both improved and the local ones. As a result, varietal information for the improvement of the crop for ...
Evaluation of under-sowing Vetch in sorghum for intensifying production systems
The objectives of the research were i) to explore the production potential of diversified sorghum- forage legumes intercropping systems under different planting patterns, and ii) to evaluate the possible amount of forage ...
Collection and analysis of watershed hydrological data (Preciptiation, Runoff, sediment and nutrient yields)
Specific objective of this activity was to monitor the meteorological variable, surface hydrology and sediment and nutrients (available P, Total N and Organic carbon) yields at the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed and to use ...
