In 1986, ILCA carried out informal surveys at Dogollo and Inewari in order to understand the farming systems. Such surveys were also conducted by the Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR) at Ginchi in 1986 and by the Alemaya University of Agriculture at Ada/Debre Zeit in 1988/89. This was foll...


Asamenew, G.Beyene, H.Negatu, W.Ayele, G.[A survey of the farming systems of Vertisol areas of the Ethiopian highlands]A survey of the farming systems of Vertisol areas of the Ethiopian highlands

As farming in Ethiopia is heavily dependent on animal traction, technologies that are based on this power source were envisaged to be appropriate for better management of Vertisols. Hence, the Joint Vertisol Project (JVP) began research on improved Vertisol technology that included 1) the use of ...


Asamenew, G.Beyene, H.Haile, AynalemNegatu, W.[Technology validation and transfer]Technology validation and transfer

Investigates the impact of draft power availability on grain production on smallholder farms in the Ethiopian highlands based on analysis of data collected by ILCA around Debre Berhan and Debre Zeit, especially on effects of ox holding on area cultivated and on net cereal production.


Gryseels, GuidoAnderson, F.M.Durkin, J.W.Asamenew, G.[Draught power and smallholder grain production in the Ethiopian highlands]Draught power and smallholder grain production in the Ethiopian highlands

Summarises the results of on-farm research conducted by the Highlands Programme (ILCA) in order to improve smallholder livestock productivity in the Ethiopian Highlands. Outlines the farming system around Debre Berhan. Discusses on farm trials and research activities on the integration of crossbr...


Gryseels, GuidoAnderson, F.M.Asamenew, G.Mesgina, A.Astatke, A.Wolde-Mariam, W.A.[On-farm research to improve smallholder livestock productivity in the Ethiopian highlands]On-farm research to improve smallholder livestock productivity in the Ethiopian highlands

In Ethiopia vertisols of the highlands are vast and underutilized. For increasing production on highland vertisol, a joint vertisol project undertook a range of integrated research activities. ILCA's research in this partnership project, the integrated research activities, the research approach, ...


Asamenew, G.Tedla, A.[Research on crop and livestock intensification on small farm vertisols: ILCA's experience]Research on crop and livestock intensification on small farm vertisols: ILCA's experience

This paper deals briefly with the potential of cow traction in the Ethiopian highlands farming systems with particular reference to energy requirements and feeding and strategies. Examines cow energy requirements for work, maintainance, milk production, and pregnancy; and effect of draft work on ...


Zerbini, E.Asamenew, G.[Potential of cow traction in the Ethiopian highlands farming system]Potential of cow traction in the Ethiopian highlands farming system

Crop and livestock subsystems in the Ethiopian highlands interact with each other in many wasy. The livestock subsystem has output, input, asset, and security and investment functions in the farming system. Animal traction and crop residues are the prominent binding elements of the crop and lives...


Asamenew, G.Zerbini, E.Tedla, A.[Crop-livestock interactions and implications for animal traction research in the Ethiopian highlands]Crop-livestock interactions and implications for animal traction research in the Ethiopian highlands

Presents the concept and procedure followed to develop an appropriate technology to increase productivity on Vertisols (heavy clay soils) in Ethiopia. Describes the Vertisol farming systems in the Ethiopian highlands and discusses the on-farm technology validation process. Examines yields of majo...


Asamenew, G.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Concepts and procedures for the Development of improved Vertisol technology Development in Ethiopia]Concepts and procedures for the Development of improved Vertisol technology Development in Ethiopia

Describes farmers' participatory roles in technology Development and transfer, drawing on experience from on-farm Vertisol technology research in Ethiopia, i.e. constant consultation w. farmers enabled technical refinements and brought attitudinal changes to the technology by using on animal draw...


Asamenew, G.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Farmer participatory roles in technology Development and transfer: A case study from on-farm vertisol technology experience in Ethiopia]Farmer participatory roles in technology Development and transfer: A case study from on-farm vertisol technology experience in Ethiopia

Since 1986 the Joint Vertisol Project (JVP) which involved a number of national and international research and Development institutions in Ethiopia gave high priority to developing alternative management practices for increased and sustainable food and feed production in highland vertisols. The J...
