Land degradation is a major challenge limiting crop production in Ethiopia. Integrated soil and water conservation widely applied as means to reverse the trend increase productivity. This study investigated effects of such integrated approaches at two sites, Jeldu Diga, Western A split plot design with physical main plots agronomic practices sub was employed. Maize (Zea mays L.) followed by groundnut (Arachis hypogaea wheat (Triticum aestivum) faba bean (Vicia were test crops. Surface soils...
Abstract Crop‐livestock integration (CLI) to improve natural resource management for increased productivity is evolving in Nigeria and West Africa. Processes the evolution factors that influence it still need be well understood. This article proposes tests a new framework measuring multiple dimensionality of CLI. The derives CLI index using principal components its most common single measures; develops geographic information systems (GIS)‐based village‐level ecological market factors;...
Abstract Degradation of crop and grazing lands is a pervasive problem that negatively impacts agricultural productivity livelihoods crop-livestock farmers in the Blue Nile basin Ethiopia. Area enclosure together with cut carry livestock feeding system often advocated as an approach for regeneration degraded lands. This paper reports results two-year farmer participatory study conducted to assess effects infiltration trenches (ITs) Chloris gayana Kunth (Rhodes grass; cultivar Masaba;...
Animal manure is of vital importance in maintaining soil fertility semiarid west Africa due to the low level use inorganic fertilizer. Using data from Niger however, it shown that insufficient animals are available provide needed sustain crop yields on a long-term basis. The limitations posed by animal numbers and feed availability imply with increasing intensity land other countries In region, alone will not key attaining sustainable yield levels. External Inputs form fertilizers needed....
Livestock pricing policies in many developing countries are often instituted without a good appreciation of the consequences such for allocative efficiency, output and trade.This paper evaluates, comparative cross-country context, objectives instruments livestock policy five sub-Saharan African countries: Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Sudan Zimbabwe during period 1970-86.It assesses extent to which have been attained, also estimates effects price interventions on output, consumption, trade...
