In Ethiopia, land degradation in the form of soil erosion debilitates agricultural development. However, SWCPs are commonly implemented to control soil erosion. This study was conducted in Gelda watershed Dera district, ...
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 ...
Land use change is a fundamental variable that impacts and links many parts of the human
and physical environments. The study was conducted to analyze the effect of land use change
and soil depth on soil properties in ...
Agriculture is a basic source of income for rural households in Ethiopia. However, it is one of the major risky business activities influenced by different factors. Therefore, some rural households practice other opportunities ...

Soil fertility depletion has become a serious challenge causing low crop yields and food insecurity
in Ethiopia. To solve this problem, there has been a growing need to develop viable, effective and
sustainable ...
In order to examine the sustainability of different land use types using soil nutrient balance and
stock as indicators, inputs and outputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) were computed using a
nutrient monitoring ...
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 ...
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 ...
Understanding how land use affects soil respiration (Rs) rates will assist us to comprehend
global CO
fluxes and develop land management plans. This study examines: (1) the impact
of land use on Rs in highland and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Understanding soil acidity and the geographical variability of nutrients is critical for informed decision-making when selecting the best management alternatives for a given set of circumstances. During soil management ...
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 ...
