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 ...
Variability in food-feed traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) varieties
The study was conducted with the objectives of analyzing and developing Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) equation for predicting nutritional value and mineral constituents of chickpea haulm, and to determine ...
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 ...
CRP Dryland Systems - ILRI - 2015 Technical and Financial Report - Final
From 2012, the development of a cutting-edge econometric response model by the IBLI team at ILRI enabled expansion into new areas by identifying the relationship between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) ...
Determinants of farmers’ decision on utilizing cereal and legume residue as feed and soil mulch in the Ethiopian highlands
Crop residues (CR) are dual purpose resources in mixed crop-livestock systems of the Ethiopian highlands. They serve as animal feed, income sources and inputs for soil and water conservation. However, multiple uses are two ...
Feeds and Forage Development: Africa RISING science, innovations and technologies with scaling potential from Ethiopian highland
This work sought to determine the possibility of selecting crop varieties which combine superior grain and straw traits. Initially, assessments of feeding systems, feed resource availability and crop residue utilization ...
