Astatke, A.Bunning, S.Anderson, F.[Building ponds with animal power in the Ethiopian highlands]Building ponds with animal power in the Ethiopian highlands

Biomass productivity, botanical composition, and soil physical properties were studied under conditions with and without application of manure. The study was conducted at the Debre Zeit station of the International Livestock Research Institute, located 50 km from Addis Ababa in the Ethiopian high...


Taddesse, G.Peden, Donald G.Astatke, A.Ayaleneh, W.[Effect of manure on grazing lands in Ethiopia, East African highlands]Effect of manure on grazing lands in Ethiopia, East African highlands

Land-use intensification in the East-African highland zone is required for meeting food and feed demands from the rising human and animal populations. A single crop of wheat has been a traditional practice for the 8 Mha of Vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands with both grain and residues finding ...


Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.Astatke, A.[Options to intensify cropland use for alleviating smallholder energy and protein deficiencies in the East African highlands]Options to intensify cropland use for alleviating smallholder energy and protein deficiencies in the East African 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...

The design and development of a reversible animal-drawn plough and a ridger is presented. The plough was developed on the basis of laboratory experiments reported earlier to determine optimum parameters for acurved implement. The basic design principles of conventional mouldboard ploughs and an a...
