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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Soil acidity is one of the chemical soil degradation issues which affect soil productivity in Ethiopian highlands. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of rhizobium inoculation, lime, and starter nitrogen ...
Soil acidity and nutrient depletion are key constraints to agricultural productivity in
Northwestern Ethiopia. Despite the recognized importance of integrated soil fertility
management, limited research has been conducted ...
Variability in crop response and nutrient use efficiency to nutrient supply in maize is common
in the study area due to unbalanced fertilizer application due to the absence of site specific
and crop demand based fertilizer ...
Ethiopia’s soils are experiencing a continuous decline in essential plant nutrients and organic
matter, which has become one of the major constraints to agricultural productivity in the
country. This experiment was ...
Land use changes have remarkable effects on the dynamics of soil properties. This study was conducted in 2019 at Necho Watershed; Northwest Ethiopia with the objective of analysis of land use dynamics and its effect on ...
