Presents the results of investigations on the relative distribution of the various phosphorus forms, fixing capacity and status of some Ethiopian highland Vertisols.
Vertisols and soils with vertic properties are an important soil group in the Ethiopian highlands. Poor drainage, soil, water and nutrient erosion are the most serious problems on highland Vertisols. Due to their high moisture- storage capacity, they have high production potential and this potent...
Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of phosphorus application and Rhizobium inoculation on the growth and nitrogen fixation of three tree legume species on a highland vertisol. The first experiment involved Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei, the second Leucaena panicu...
This paper reports on studies of Faidherbia albida trees and their effects on some properties of vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands. The study was carried at the experiment station of ILCA at Debre Zeit with 850 mm rainfall and at an altitude of 1850 m. Studies on the lateral and vertical influ...
Field experiments were conducted to study the effects of inoculation and application of P on the productivity of Desmodium intortum on an Ultisol and Sesbania sesban on a Vertisol, Alfisol and Ultisol in the Ethiopian highlands. On the Vetisol, the effect of drainage by using broad-bed-and-furrow...
Reports on the Nitrogen contribution of one forage and three grain legumes, viz, vetch (Vicia villosa), wheat, faba beans, peas & lentils, to a subsequent maize crop in the Ethiopian highlands.
Reports concentrations of primary and secondary nutrients in the dry matter that were harvested at various times and the removal of the nutrients from an upland soil in the Ethiopian highland in part III. Part IV deals with the concentration and uptake of Na, Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe from the dry matter...
Soil fertility is declining in most agro-ecosystems in sub-Saharan Africa, and incorporation of forage legumes into production systems to utilize the nitrogen fixed by the legumes could alleviate the problem, if efficient nitrogen-fixing legumes are used. The amounts of nitrogen fixed by Lablab, ...
Reports on the Nitrogen contribution of one forage and three grain legumes, viz, vetch (Vicia villosa), wheat, faba beans, peas & lentils, to a subsequent maize crop in the Ethiopian highlands.
Cereal-legume intercrops are quite common in sub-Saharan Africa. However, most of the research in this area has concentrated on grain legumes or pasture grass-legume mixtures. More recently, attention has been called to the integration of forage legumes with livestock production. While it is know...
