This paper mainly focusses 011 a macro review of the general course of Ethiopian agricultural development since the land reform of 1975. The food production has lagged behind the population growth - 3 percent population growth against 1.8 percent food production between 1970 and 1983. Recently th...

The study investigated the effect of intercropping cereals (maize, sorghum and wheat) with forage legumes (lablab and clover), planting methods and manure application on cereal grain and fodder dry matter yield and fodder nutritive value. Data collected over a period of three years, indicated tha...

The preceding chapter has demonstrated at the macro-level the importance of agricultural and economic growth for the significant reduction in rural poverty in MSEA that has occurred in recent decades. In this chapter we aim to identify and explain the major trends and trajectories of rice-farming...

Low soil phosphorus (P) has been singled out as a major constraint leading to perpetually low bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grain yield far below the expected yield potential. In developing countries beans are mainly produced by small-scale farmers who have little capacity to use inorganic fertili...

Decline in crop yields is a major problem facing smallholder farmers in Kenya and the entire Sub-Saharan region. This is attributed mainly to the mining of major nutrients due to continuous cropping without addition of adequate external nutrients. In most cases inorganic fertilizers are expensive...

For centuries, the populations of Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) have endured material poverty, particularly in rural areas and among subsistence-oriented, rice-farming households. In the 20th century in particular, the impact of colonialism, war, and collectivist regimes exacerbated the poverty ...
