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...

Crop and livestock subsystems in the Ethiopian highlands interact with each other in many wasy. The livestock subsystem has output, input, asset, and security and investment functions in the farming system. Animal traction and crop residues are the prominent binding elements of the crop and lives...


Asamenew, G.Zerbini, E.Tedla, A.[Crop-livestock interactions and implications for animal traction research in the Ethiopian highlands]Crop-livestock interactions and implications for animal traction research in the Ethiopian highlands

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...

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...

Presents and discusses the effects of animal power use for improved soil surface drainage on food and feed production on the vertisols of the Ethiopian highlands. Examines the on-farm technology validation programme at ILCA; describes crop/livestock interactions in these vertisol areas; highlight...

Out of 6.5 million tons of crop residues produced each year in Ethiopia, over a million tons of straw comes from barley. There is substantial under utilization of barley straw as animal feed. The major constraints on the use of barley straw as animal feed are low nutrient content, low voluntary i...


Getachew, G.Tedla, A.Bediye, S.Sebsibe, A.Tsegahun, A.Berhe, Kahsay[Improvement and utilization of barley straw]Improvement and utilization of barley straw

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...

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...
