An on-farm trial, in which a wheat-clover mixed cropping treatment was compared with un-fertilised (control) and N-fertilised (23 kg N ha (-1)) pure wheat treatments, was conducted at Ginchi (2200 metres above sea level (m asl)) and Deneba (2600 m asl) in the Ethiopian highlands. Compared with th...

Sixteen promising forage legume accessions (15 species) were selected from small plot observation trials for agronomic evaluation over three years in a subhumid zone of Uganda. Macrotyloma axillare (Archer) significantly out yielded all other accessions in terms of annual dry matter production bu...

Mixed crop-lvestock production system is the major agricultural production system in Ethiopia with a wide array of Development challenges and opportunities. One of the key challenge in improving the agricultural productivity of the system is feed scarcity and undernutrition. The major basal feed ...

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...

Research at ILRI has shown the value of incorporating forages and fodder species into sustainable farming systems, but the lack of available seed of adapted forage materials remains a major constraint to their adoption by smallholder farmers. Technical knowledge, access to seed, and economic ince...
Discusses intermediate technology for increased food and feed production from deep black clay soils (vertisols) in the Ethiopian highlands. Presents examples of improved soil/water/nutrient management on vertisols discussing tillage and animal powered surface drainage and its effect on crop yield...

The dry matter production of 9 herbaceous legume species was evaluated over 3 years for their suitability as forage species in the subhumid regions of Uganda. Dry matter production of Centrosema pascuorum (6774), Chamaecrista rotundifolia (Wynn), Clitoria ternatea (9291), Macroptilium atropurpure...
