dc.description.abstract | Broomrape (Orobanche crenata) is a parasitic weed that has become a nuisance to pulse crop production
in many parts of Ethiopia. Despite the challenges posed by the weed, there has not been any study on its
economic impact at farm household level in Ethiopia. With the aim of filling this gap, this study reports
the impact of broomrape on farm level productivity and farm income based on 540 randomly selected
households in northeastern Ethiopia. We have employed nearest-neighbor matching and propensity score
matching methods to estimate the impact of broomrape infestation and dose-response function to assess
the impact of degree of infestation. The results show that farm households are being affected significantly
by broomrape. We have suggested research and development interventions that might help in abating the
economic losses farmers incur due to this parasitic weed at least in northeastern Ethiopia. | en_US |
