Conservation agriculture is claimed to be a panacea for the problems of poor agricultural
productivity and soil degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It is actively promoted by …

Research results published regarding the impact of soil and water conservation practices in
the highland areas of Ethiopia have been inconsistent and scattered. In this paper, a …

The farm-level economics of conservation agriculture (zero tillage, mulching and crop
rotation) are described, reviewed and modelled. The economics are defined broadly to …

In most developing countries wastewater treatment systems are hardly functioning or have a
very low coverage, resulting in large scale water pollution and the use of very poor quality …

To assess the scope for enhancing productivity of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), the
CROPGRO-Soybean model was calibrated and validated for the diverse soybean-growing …

Identifying land management practices (LMP) that enhance on-site sediment management
and crop productivity is crucial for the prevention, reduction, and restoration of land …

The aim of conservation agriculture (CA) is to improve soil quality and crop yield whilst
reducing runoff and topsoil erosion. An experiment was carried out in a rainfed field using a …

This study was conducted on Eutric Nitisols of Holeta Agricultural Research Center (HARC)
in the humid highlands of Ethiopia. The main objective was to assess the effect of tillage and …

In the northern Ethiopian highlands, croplands yield extremely high volumes of storm runoff
and are the major contributor to sediment load in the rivers. A medium-term tillage …

Soil quality indexing is a new approach in spatial and temporal evaluation of land
management systems effects on soils' capacity to function. A field experiment was conducted …
