The two years on-farm tillage research during the 1999 and 2000 cropping seasons in Ethiopian highland Vertisol area demonstrated the importance of adapting cultural practices into participatory trials. The minimum tillage package could be an effective intervention for soil conservation due to th...

Participatory on-farm conservation tillage trial in the Ethiopian highland Vertisols: The impact of potassium application on crop yields
In the Ethiopian highlands, where integrated crop and livestock production takes place, the inadequate supply, in both quantity and quality of feeds during the year is a major constraint. Native pastures and crop residues are the major feed sources, but their quality is often poor. Integration of...

Effects of cropping system, seed bed management and fertility interactions on biomass of crops grown on a Vertisol in the central highlands of Ethiopia
Field studies were conducted between 1987-1989 at sites on Vertisols at different altitudes in Ethiopia to assess the effects of mixtures of clover undersowings on grain, straw yield and the total biomass production of several wheat varieties. Wheat varieties grown at the medium altitude location...
