Experiences: Irrigated Forages in Ethiopia
(Feed the Future, 2018)
Lessons from pilot trials with small-scale irrigated forage production in the Amhara Region: potential of integrating the perennial forage Napier grass with Desmodium and Pigeon Pea in cropping systems. 2nd Amhara Agricultural Forum 2017 on 16 Jan 2018, Jacaranda Hotel, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.
(The Second Amhara Agricultural Forum, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, 16 January 2018, 2018)
Optimizing water and nitrogen application for neglected horticultural species in tropical sub-humid climate areas: A case of African eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum L.)
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2021)
African eggplant, a traditional and important nutrient-dense crop to Tanzania’s nutrition and food security. However, yields remain low as a result of sub-optimal irrigation and fertilizer practices. To reduce the yield ...
Who is Likely to Benefit from Public and Private Sector Investments in Farmer-led Irrigation Development? Evidence from Ethiopia
(The Journal of Development Studies, 2021)
In recent years, farmer-led irrigation development has gained the interest of development partners and governments in the Global South following its success in enhancing agricultural production and livelihoods in South ...
Berken plow and intercropping with pigeon pea ameliorate degraded soils with a hardpan in the Ethiopian highlands
(Geoderma, 2021)
Closing the yield gap and enhancing efficiency in rainfed maize production systems in Ethiopia requires urgent action in increasing the productivity of degraded agricultural land. The degradation of land through continuous ...
Characterizing shallow groundwater in hillslope aquifers using isotopic signatures: A case study in the Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia
(Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2021)
Study region: Robit-Bata watershed, Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia.
Study focus: Stable isotopes of water (Oxygen-18 and Deuterium) were used as tracers to estimate the contribution of groundwater in shallow hillslope ...
The feasibility of hand-held thermal and UAV-based multispectral imaging for canopy water status assessment and yield prediction of irrigated African eggplant (Solanum aethopicum L)
(Agricultural Water Management, 2020)
This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of a mobile phone-based thermal and UAV-based multispectral imaging to assess the irrigation performance of African eggplant. The study used a randomized block design ...
Multi-stakeholder dialogue space on farmer-led irrigation development in Ghana: an instrument driving systemic change with private sector initiatives
(Knowledge Management for Development Journal, 2020)
Private sector actors bring expertise, resources, and new perspectives to agricultural development, but the tendency to short-term approaches and market-based orientation has been unable to drive a systemic change in the ...
Constraints of small-scale irrigated fodder production and nutrition assessment for livestock feed, a case study in Ethiopia
(Agricultural Water Management, 2021)
Livestock is an integral part of the agricultural system in sub-Saharan Africa, serving as a food source, income, fertilizer, and power for farming and transportation. However, the productivity of the livestock system has ...
Conservation and Conventional Vegetable Cultivation Increase Soil Organic Matter and Nutrients in the Ethiopian Highlands
(Water, 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 ...
