Farmer's use of fertilizer in the highland areas of Ethiopia remains small, despite significant yield increases obtained in experimental stations and on-farm trials. Among the suspected hindrances against the use of fertilizer at the rate recommended jointly by the MOA/IAR, are farmers' aversion ...
