Chickpea in Ethiopia - A success story
Chickpea in Ethiopia - A success story Roll-up
Variation in the straw traits of morphological fractions of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and implications for selecting for food-feed varieties
Five varieties of faba bean (four improved released varieties and one local variety) were investigated for varietal variation in straw yield, nutritive value of straw morphological fractions and grain yield. Samples of the ...
Phenotypic variability and characteristics of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm of Ethiopia by multivariate analysis
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is an important crop in Ethiopian highlands. Its productivity is very low
due to low yielding landraces and other factors. The objectives of this study were to classify groups of
genotypes ...
Price quality relationships in fodder trading in Niger with special regards to comparison of cowpea and groundnut haulms with concentrates, collected shrubs and grasses
Investigations of price-quality relationships in feed and fodder marketing
can yield crucial information about economic benefits from livestock
production, specific feed demand and supply, opportunities for engaging in
feed ...
Multi-dimensional Crop Improvement in Pulse Crops to support Livestock Productivity in Mixed Farming Systems
Crop scientists and livestock nutrition are collaboratively exploring opportunities and limitations for improving crop residue quantity and fodder quality at source through multidimensional crop improvement. Selecting ...
Extra-early chickpea and lentil varieties for Southeast Asia and East Africa
Development of extra-early varieties of chickpea and lentil offers opportunities for intensification and diversification of existing cropping systems in addition to introduction in new niches such as rice fallows in South ...
Application of scaling frameworks to grazing exclosures in Ethiopia
Grazing exclosures are a costeffective
means of restoring or enhancing the productivity of communal lands in Ethiopia. An extension of the
traditional practice of excluding grazing from communal areas to enable regeneration ...
Effect of phosphorus (P) application on nutrient uptake, biomass, pod and seed formation in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp])
Phosphorous (P) deficiency is a serious problem which limits the
productivity of cowpea in sub-Saharan Africa.
• P deficiency affects negatively the formation of nodule (1, 2) and the
symbiotic fixation of N2 by limiting ...
Effects of heat stress on physiology and reproductive biology of chickpea and lentil
Chickpea and lentil are two vital winter-season legumes; their production has been found to be seriously constrained by increase in temperature during reproductive stage. Considering this, we examined the effects of high ...
Cultivar-dependent variation in lentil (Lens culinaris L.) and implications for selecting food-feed varieties
Lentil straw is one of the extensively used livestock feed in mixed crop-livestock systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. To identify the importance of varietal and environmental sources of variation in the nutritive value of straw ...
