Intercropping maize & forage type cowpeas in the Ethiopian highlands: III. Concentration, macronutrient yields and crop residue quality. IV. Concentration, micronutrient yields and crop residue quality
An alfalfa field experiment was conducted at the Debre Zeit Experiment station for a period of 2 years with the main objective of investigating the effects of cattle manure om dry matter yields, plant tissue nutrient concentration and plant nutrient uptake. Dry matter yields were significantly in...

The paper is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the maitenance of soil productivity under population pressure, and the second part covers research themes and approaches for maintaining soil productivity in crop-livestock systems. Part one discusses project activities including char...
