From component technology to integrated resource management: Evolution toward trandisciplinary research in a project in Ethiopia
Reports a concerted interinstitutional attempt to generalize the use of the available draught animal power for the construction of more effective soil surface drainage. The hypothesis is that the relatively high productive potential of the Ethiopian highland vertisols, particularly in high-rainfa...
