Five institutions including ILCA/ILRI, collaborated on the joint Vertisol Project (JVP) starting in 1986 for the sustainable use of Vertisol soils in Ethiopia. The improved soil drainage from the use of the broadbed maker (BBM) plough is one component of a technology package, that together with i...

The role of the broadbed maker plough in Ethiopian farming systems: an ex post impact assessment study
This report is the latest of two separate ex post impact assessments conducted by ILRI 10 years apart. It provides timely insights into the welfare impacts of a technology package introduced in the early 1990s into the crop-livestock farming system of the Ethiopian highlands rich Vertisol soils. ...

Broad bed maker technology package innovations in Ethiopian farming systems: An ex post impact assessment
The design and development of a reversible animal-drawn plough and a ridger is presented. The plough was developed on the basis of laboratory experiments reported earlier to determine optimum parameters for acurved implement. The basic design principles of conventional mouldboard ploughs and an a...
