Brusselmans, A.Muysen, W. vanDeckers, J.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.Rampelberg, S.Tedla, A.[Geomorphology, Ecology and Traditional Farming systems in the Ethiopian highlands: Study of a Watershed in Tero Jemjem, Ginchi]Geomorphology, Ecology and Traditional Farming systems in the Ethiopian highlands: Study of a Watershed in Tero Jemjem, Ginchi

The paper identifies poverty and malnutrition, low crop and livestock productivity, widespread land degradation and underutilization of some resources as a major problem of highlands. To tackle these problems, a systems approach to research has been adapted and research has been conducted under t...


Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[ILRI highland research: Past activities and future plan]ILRI highland research: Past activities and future plan

Understanding the problems of grazing land in vertisol areas and seeking long-lasting solutions is the central point where mixed crop livestock is the second stay for the majority of the population. In order to understand this, the current study was conducted at two sites, one with 0-4% slope and...


Taddese, G.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.Astatke, A.Ayaleneh, W.[Impact of grazing on plant species richness, plant biomass, plant attribute, and soil physical and hydrological properties of Vertisol in East African highlands]Impact of grazing on plant species richness, plant biomass, plant attribute, and soil physical and hydrological properties of Vertisol in East African highlands

Extending livestock grazing to the steep slopes has led to unstable grazing systems in the East African Highlands, and new solutions and approaches are needed to ameliorate the current situation. This work was aimed at studying the effect of livestock grazing on plant attributes and hydrological ...


Taddese, G.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.Astatke, A.Ayaleneh, W.[Effect of grazing on plant attributes and hydrological properties in the sloping lands of the East African highlands]Effect of grazing on plant attributes and hydrological properties in the sloping lands of the East African highlands

This paper presents some strategies for feed improvement to support intensification of ruminant production in the Ethiopian highlands. It looks into feed availability, and outlines feed intensification strategies. Opportunities for feed improvement and management, feed improvement in intensified ...


Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.Tedla, A.[Feed improvement to support intensification of ruminant production systems in the Ethiopian highlands]Feed improvement to support intensification of ruminant production systems in the Ethiopian highlands

The effect of grazing cattle on vegetation was studied on a natural pasture during the rainy and dry seasons of 1995 in the Ethiopian highlands. The study used 0.01 ha plots, established on 0-4 percent and 4-8 percent slopes located close to each other at Debre Zeit research station, 50 km South ...


Mwendera, E.J.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.Woldu, Z.[Vegetation response to cattle grazing in the Ethiopian highlands]Vegetation response to cattle grazing in the Ethiopian highlands

The productivity of the Vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands could be raised by facilitating the removal of excess water from the field in the main rainy season. This could be accomplished by the introduction of an animal powered broadbed maker (BBM) which shapes the soil into broadbeds and furro...


Astatke, A.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Effect of different cropping options on plant-available water of surface-drained Vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands]Effect of different cropping options on plant-available water of surface-drained Vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands

At the Debre Zeit Station Cereals (wheat and maize) and forage legumes (lablab, cowpea, vetch and clover) were grown as sole crops and as cereal/forage combinations on the broadbeds separated by drainage furrows (BBF). This is an improved land management system, developed by ILCA in collaboration...

Examines the effects of broadbed and furrow land management systems and supplementary irrigation on the productivity of sequentially planted wheat and chickpea on Vertisols wheat was grown during the main rainy season on boradbeds and furrows made with an animal drawn implement to drain off the e...


Astatke, A.Airaksinen, H.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Supplementary irrigation for sequential cropping in the Ethiopian highland Vertisols using broadbed and furrow land management system]Supplementary irrigation for sequential cropping in the Ethiopian highland Vertisols using broadbed and furrow land management system

The effect of grazing pressure on infiltration, runoff, and soil loss was studied on a natural pasture during the 1995 rainy season in the Ethiopian highlands. The study was conducted on 0.01 ha plots established on sites with 0-4 percent and 4-8 percent slopes at the International Livestock Rese...
