Breeding and breeding strategy of dairy farms under urban and peri-urban production systems in Ethiopia
The moist savannas of West and Central Africa have great potential for maize grain production due to high levels of radiation and reduced incidence of pests and diseases. However, soils in this zone are generally low in organic matter and cation exchange capacity in addition to land use intensifi...
