Discusses inter-institutional collaboration undertaken in order to overcome the waterlogging constraint on vertisols of highland Ethiopia. Presents vertisol technology package for increasing crop and livestock productivity, and implemented by the joint project; good seedbed preparation, an animal...
Discusses the traditional and potential cropping systems for the highlands of Ethiopia. Traditional Vertisol management methods of these soils fail to overcome waterlogging problems, and therefore croping practices vary from place to place to suit the length of time left after the water is natura...

Cropping systems for Vertisols of the Ethiopian highlands
This paper ilustrates the principle determining cropping systems for Vertisols by reviewing work in the highlands of Ethiopia. The types of cropping systems that can be applicable in the different Vertisol environments are briefly described. These cropping systems include single cropping; multipl...

Since 1986 the Joint Vertisol Project (JVP) which involved a number of national and international research and Development institutions in Ethiopia gave high priority to developing alternative management practices for increased and sustainable food and feed production in highland vertisols. The J...

Outlines an economic evaluation of an improved surface drainage technology, using the broad-bed-maker (BBM) on-farm in four different vertisol areas of the Ethiopian highlands. Presents data on crops and number of areas covered for the on-farm drainage technology, on cost structure of the BBM, an...
