Investigates the influence of age and sex on the serum concentrations of total protein(TP), immunoglobulin(LG), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), and alanine amino-transferase(ALT) in apparently healthy sheep raised on the Ethiopian highlands; the results shows that males...

A litter bag technique was used to study the decomposition and release of N, P, K, Ca and Mg from Leucaena leucocephala and L. pallida prunings and cattle manure in a hedgerow intercropping trial conducted in the Ethiopian highlands. Hedgerow inter-cropping (also called alley cropping or alley fa...

The N.P.K. Ca and Mg release patterns of the leaves of four accessions of Sesbania species and two accessions of Leucaena species were evaluated in a 5-week laboratory incubation. Leaves of these leguminous trees, applied at an equivalent rate of 3 t dm ha-1, were significant sources of N, K and ...

Low soil nitrogen (N) and sub-optimal N fertilizer applications result in poor grain yield (GY) in maize. Genotypes with improved N-use efficiency (NUE) are particularly beneficial to low-input agriculture. Information on the relative importance of the main components of NUE will facilitate genet...

The tree component of agroforestry systems may interfere with N cycling in several ways. In alley cropping systems, first of all, the prunings added during the different activities have a certain biochemical quality and subsequent N release characteristics. Secondly, the quality of the complete o...

Drought stress limits growth and yield of crops, particularly under smallholder production systems with minimal use of inputs and edaphic limitations such as nitrogen (N) deficiency. The development of genotypes adapted to these conditions through genetic improvement is an important strategy to a...
