Mixed crop-lvestock production system is the major agricultural production system in Ethiopia with a wide array of Development challenges and opportunities. One of the key challenge in improving the agricultural productivity of the system is feed scarcity and undernutrition. The major basal feed ...

An on farm tiral, in which a wheat-clover mixed cropping treatment was compared to an unfertilized (control) and N-fertilized (23 kg N ha-1) pure wheat treatments, was conducted at Ginchi (2200 metres above sea level (masl) and Deneba (2600 masl) in the Ethiopian highlands. The total crop residue...

Trials were conducted to test methods of intercropping annual Ethiopian clovers, Trifolium spp, with wheat. Several different clover varieties, sowing methods, plant spacings, planting dates and rates of phosphorus application were compared. The results indicated that the intercropping of Ethiopi...
Field studies were conducted between 1987-1989 at sites on Vertisols at different altitudes in Ethiopia to assess the effects of mixtures of clover undersowings on grain, straw yield and the total biomass production of several wheat varieties. Wheat varieties grown at the medium altitude location...

The effect of the interaction of shoots and roots of intercropped wheat (Triticum durum var. Boohai) and clover (Trifolium quartinianum A. Rich) on the dry matter yield of shoots and roots and on the seed yield of wheat and clover was studied in wooden boxes in the dry and wet seasons with and wi...
