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 ...
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 ...
Although Potassium (K) is a macronutrient, however it is not widely used as a commercial fertilizer for agricultural crop production such as tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) in many parts of Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was ...
A field experiment was conducted during the main 2018 cropping season at Yilmana Densa farmer’s plot to determine the critical value of available soil potassium and optimum K/Mg ratio for wheat production. The field ...
Fertilizer recommendation based on effective calibrating soil tests against yield responses to applied nutrient has been little used in Ethiopia. A field experiment was conducted at Dera District, Northwest Ethiopia in ...
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 ...
In Tach Karnuary watershed higher land degradation and soil erosion problems has a deleterious impact on soil fertility due to land use types and slope grdient variation. The objective of the study was to evaluate effects ...
Challenges of land use type and soil depth have serious effects on soil properties. Thus,
assessing land use types in soil properties are necessary for agro-ecosystem transformation.
This study was conducted in Shemit ...
The problem of natural phenomena and interference of human activities were aggravating soil
fertility degradation (erosion and overgrazing). The objective of the study was to investigate
effects of land use types and ...
Soil acidity is the major soil chemical constraints which limit agricultural productivity in
the highlands of Ethiopia receiving high rainfall. This study was conducted to evaluate
the effect of different lime application ...
Soil acidity is the major soil chemical constraints which limit agricultural productivity in the highlands of Ethiopia receiving high rainfall. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different lime application ...
Runoff and erosion problems are commonly observed in the study area due to its steep and
plugged topography which has an adverse impact on soil physicochemical properties and crop
productivity. The study was conducted ...
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 ...
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, ...
Maize (Zea maize) is a major cereal crop in Pawe District; however, the current yield is decreased due to low soil fertility status by continuous cultivation, limited use of organic and inorganic fertilizers, erosion, 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Phosphorus(P) sorption is the main limiting factor for P availability in acidic soils and requires
large application of inorganic fertilizers to attain maximum crop yield, which is not
environmentally friendly and ...
