Muysen, W. vanBrusselmans, A.Tedla, A.Saleem, M.A.Rampelborg, S.Deckers, J.[Land use sustainability in the Tero Jemjem catchment of the Ethiopian highland]Land use sustainability in the Tero Jemjem catchment of the Ethiopian highland

Wheat is an important food and income source and estimated demand for wheat in the developing world is projected to increase substantially. The objectives of this study were to gain insight into (i) the effect of tillage straw system on yield and yield components (number of grains per m2 and thou...


Verhulst, NeleSayre KDVargas, M.Crossa, J.Deckers, J.Raes, DirkGovaerts, Bram[Wheat yield and tillage-straw management system × year interaction explained by climatic co-variables for an irrigated bed planting system in northwestern Mexico]Wheat yield and tillage-straw management system × year interaction explained by climatic co-variables for an irrigated bed planting system in northwestern Mexico

Rainfed crop management systems need to be optimized to provide more resilient options to cope with projected climatic scenarios forecasting a decrease in mean precipitation and more frequent extreme drought periods in Mexico. Soil water content (0 60 cm) was measured during three crop cycles in ...


Verhulst, NeleNelissen VJespers NHaven HSayre KDRaes, DirkDeckers, J.Govaerts, Bram[Soil water content, maize yield and its stability as affected by tillage and crop residue management in rainfed semi-arid highlands]Soil water content, maize yield and its stability as affected by tillage and crop residue management in rainfed semi-arid highlands

Transhumance, the seasonal movement of herds occurring between two points and following precise routes repeated each year, is practiced on a broad scale in the open field areas of Tigray (North Ethiopia). This article presents a characterization of the practice, factors that explain its magnitude...

Daily runoff from 27 plots (5 m ? 2 m) recorded during two rainy seasons in the Tigray highlands (Ethiopia) were analysed together with daily rainfall to calculate runoff curve numbers for hillslopes covered by semi-natural vegetation in varying stages of vegetation restoration. Curve number mode...


Descheemaeker, KatrienPoesen, J.Borselli, L.Nyssen, JanRaes, DirkHaile, M.Muys, B.Deckers, J.[Runoff curve numbers for steep hillslopes with natural vegetation in semi-arid tropical highlands, northern Ethiopia]Runoff curve numbers for steep hillslopes with natural vegetation in semi-arid tropical highlands, northern Ethiopia

In the highlands of northern Ethiopia, degraded hillslopes are closed for grazing and agriculture for environmental rehabilitation. In order to assess the effect of these exclosures on water balances, a correct assessment of evapotranspiration is needed. A common method for calculating evapotrans...


Descheemaeker, KatrienRaes, DirkAllen, R.Nyssen, JanPoesen, J.Muys, B.Haile, M.Deckers, J.[Two rapid appraisals of FAO-56 crop coefficients for semiarid natural vegetation of the northern Ethiopian highlands]Two rapid appraisals of FAO-56 crop coefficients for semiarid natural vegetation of the northern Ethiopian highlands

The availability of P from rock phosphate (RP) is often too low to demonstrate an immediate impact on cereal production. Legumes may improve the immediate availability of P from RP and eventually benefit subsequent maize crops. The ability of Mucuna pruriens (L.) var utilis (Wright) Burck and Lab...


Vanlauwe, BernardNwoke, O.C.Diels, J.Sanginga, P.Carsky, R.J.Deckers, J.Merckx, R.[Utilization of rock phosphate by crops on a representative toposequence in the northern Guinea savanna zone of Nigeria: response by Mucuna pruriens, Lablab purpureus, and maize]Utilization of rock phosphate by crops on a representative toposequence in the northern Guinea savanna zone of Nigeria: response by Mucuna pruriens, Lablab purpureus, and maize

Mucuna pruriens and Lablab purpureus can immediately benefit from rock phosphate (RP), but as both herbaceous legumes have only limited economic value, these benefits are only meaningful if yields of a subsequent maize crop are improved. The impact of RP application to Mucuna and Lablab on grain ...


Vanlauwe, BernardDiels, J.Sanginga, P.Carsky, R.Deckers, J.Merckx, R.[Utilization of rock phosphate by crops on a representative toposequence in the northern Guinea savanna zone of Nigeria: response by maize to previous herbaceous legume cropping and rock phospate treatments]Utilization of rock phosphate by crops on a representative toposequence in the northern Guinea savanna zone of Nigeria: response by maize to previous herbaceous legume cropping and rock phospate treatments

The establishment of exclosures (i.e. areas closed for grazing and agriculture) is a common practice to reverse land degradation through vegetation regeneration in the semiarid highland areas of northern Ethiopia. In order to assess the effect of exclosures on water flows, the water balance compo...
