• Phosphorus Export from Two Contrasting Rural Watersheds in the (Sub) Humid Ethiopian Highlands. 

  Sishu1, F. K.; Bekele, A. M.; Schmitter, P.; Tilahun, S. A.; Steenhuis, T. S. (Frontiers in Earth Science; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)

  Establishing worldwide sustainable and phosphorus efficient cropping systems is urgently needed because the supply of suitable phosphate rock is limited, and excess phosphorus in streams causes eutrophication. One of the ...
• UAV-based multispectral vegetation indices for assessing the interactive effects of water and nitrogen in irrigated horticultural crops production under tropical sub-humid conditions: A case of African eggplant. 

  Mwinuka, P. R.; Mourice, S. K.; Mbungu, W. B.; Mbilinyi, B. P.; Tumbo, S. D.; Schmitter, P. (Agricultural Water Management; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2022)

  UAV-based multispectral vegetation indices are often used to assess crop performance and water consumptive use. However, their ability to assess the interaction between water, especially deficit irrigation, and nitrogen ...
• Mapping development potential of dry-season small-scale irrigation in Sub-Saharan African countries under joint biophysical and economic constraints - An agent-based modeling approach with an application to Ethiopia 

  Xie, H.; You, L.; Dile, Y. T.; Worqlul, A. W.; Bizimana, J.-C.; Srinivasan, R.; Richardson, J. W.; Gerik, T.; Clarke, N. P. (Agricultural Systems; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)

  Sub-Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity. Investment in small-scale irrigation may provide a solution to address the challenge by extending crop production into the dry season. We present an agent-based ...
• Seasonal variation in maternal dietary diversity is reduced by small-scale irrigation practices: a longitudinal study 

  Baye, K.; Mekonnen, D.; Choufani, J.; Yimam, S.; Bryan, E.; Grifith, J. K.; Ringler, C. (Maternal & Child Nutrition; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)

  Some agricultural practices, such as irrigation, have the potential to buffer seasonal dietary gaps and through increased production and consumption improve diets, particularly of the rural poor relying on subsistence ...
• Conservation and Conventional Vegetable Cultivation Increase Soil Organic Matter and Nutrients in the Ethiopian Highlands 

  Belay, S. A.; Assefa, T. T.; Worqlul, A. W.; Steenhuis, T. S.; Schmitter, P.; Reyes, M. R.; Vara Prasad, P. V.; Tilahun, S. A. (Water; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2022)

  Agriculture in Africa is adversely affected by the loss of soil fertility. Conservation agriculture (CA) was introduced to curb the loss of soil fertility and water shortages and improve crop productivity. However, information ...
