Legume-based cropping systems are regarded as a sustainable method to reduce the need for
external nitrogen fertilizers. Haricot bean (Phaseolus vulgaris l.) is one of the most economically
important pulse crops cultivated ...
Land degradation due to accelerated soil erosion is a major socio-economic development and
environmental sustainability threat in the highlands of Ethiopia. To reverse these problems several types
of sustainable land ...
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) are the two major yield limiting plant nutrients inEthiopia. Existing NP rates for the production of cereal crops, including wheat, are veryoldand critically need revisiting and updating ...
Ethiopia is intensifying efforts to boost wheat production with effective nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P) management. However, low soil fertility and the lack of recommendations
on optimal N and P application rates remain ...
On Mount Guna higher land degradation particularly soil erosion problems has a
deleterious impact on soil fertility and depletion of soil organic carbon stock due to land
use types and slope gradient varation. Land use ...
Soil erosion is a global problem, especially severe in African countries like Ethiopia, causing
land degradation and economic losses. Soil conservation and amendment practices are
crucial for reducing erosion. Therefore, ...
Soil fertility depletion and the unavailability of nutrients due to a decline in soil organic matter content and improper fertilizer application are limiting bread wheat productivity in Ethiopia. Hence, a field experiment ...
The soils of Ethiopia have been experiencing depletion of essential nutrients and a decrease in
organic matter, resulting in a significant decline in agricultural output across the country. This
research was, therefore, ...
Planting trees on farmlands has become a common agroforestry activity because of its widespread use and possible advantages. This study was carried out in the Alemsaga watershed in northwestern Ethiopia. Its primary objective ...

Ethiopia is one of the developing countries in which agriculture is the primary source of its
economy. Being dependent mainly on rainfall, this sector has been adversely affected by
climate change and variability.The ...
Crop diversification is believed to be essential for reducing risk. This study
investigated the extent and determinant factors that affect farmers’ decision for crop
diversification in Kutaber District characterized by ...
One of the numerous factors contributing to soil degradation, both chemically and physically, has long been thought to be land use change. This study was conducted to analyze land use/cover change over 31 years (from 1990 ...
A field experiment was conducted on the Vertisols of Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center (DZARC) and Chefe Donsa experimental sites, central highlands of Ethiopia to evaluate the effects of nutrient omission on yield ...
The potential of the land or its productivity has deteriorated from time to time due to run off,
topographic variations, slope of the land, intensive cultivation, farming on steep slopes and
deforestation. This study ...
Climate variability poses a significant threat to many sectors of the economy in sub-Saharan Africa. Agriculture is one of the most climate-sensitive sectors as it relies on rain-fed agriculture. Therefore this study ...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stocks are essential for climate change
mitigation and agricultural production. The study was conducted in 2022 to evaluate SOC and
TN stocks variation under different ...
To determine the soil's primary potentials and constraints, soil characterization and
pedological classification are crucial. However, much of Ethiopia’s documented soil
information is scanty and inadequate relative to ...
Irrigation Agriculture plays an important role to maintain sustainable food security by improving agricultural production. Uneven distribution and rainfall shortage resulted in unsustainable food production leading to food ...
ABSTRACT
Despite widespread reports concerning the role of agroforestry in rural livelihood,
sustainable development, environmental protection, and recently in climate change
mitigation and adaptation, not much is known ...
