Article
The effects of several crop management systems on bread wheat yields in the Ethiopian Highlands
(African Crop Science Society, 1997)
Crop management (CM) research conducted in Ethiopia has tended to quantify yield gains and losses associated with single management factors, making it difficult to determine the relative importance of main effects and ...
Article
Grass weed competition with bread wheat in Ethiopia. 1. Effects on selected crop and weed vegetative parameters and yield components
(African Crop Science Society, 1996)
Competition effects of four of the predominant grass weed species in Ethiopia (Avena abyssinica Hoechst, Lolium temulentum L., Snowdenia polystachya Fresen (Pilg), and Phalaris paradoxa L.) on the morphological characters, ...
Article
Potential for cereal-based double cropping in Bale Region of Southeastern Ethiopia
(African Crop Science Society, 1994)
A double cropping trial was conducted under bimodal rainfall conditions for two years at the Sinana Research Centre in southeastern Ethiopia. Compared to the traditional farmers’ practice of fallowing land during one of ...
Article
Improvement of durum wheat yield and associated effects on morpho-physiological characters
(African Crop Science Society, 1995)
Six durum wheat ( Triticum turgidum var. durum check for this species in other resources ) cultivars released in the central highlands of Ethiopia from 1967 to 1992, were evaluated to estimate progress in improving grain ...
Article
Improvement in yield of bread wheat cultivars released in Ethiopia from 1949 to 1987
(African Crop Science Society, 1995)
Thirteen bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum check for this species in other resources L.) cultivars popular in the highlands of Ethiopia and representative of the period from 1949 to 1987 were studied for two cropping seasons ...
Article
Grain yield of wheat as affected by cropping sequence and fertilizer application in Southeastern Ethiopia
(African Crop Science Society, 1997)
Cropping systems in the Ethiopian highlands consist primarily of cereals in rotation with grain legume and oilseed crops; the proportional allocation among crop species varies with altitude, rainfall, and soil type. Barley ...
Article
On-farm evaluation of an animal-drawn implement developed in Ethiopia for row placement of wheat seed and basal fertilizer
(African Crop Science Society, 1997)
Grass weeds are difficult to control by hand weeding in a broadcast wheat crop because several species are not easily distinguished from the crop at an early stage. Chemical weed control, on the other hand, can be highly ...
Article
Grass weed competition and calculated economic threshold densities in bread wheat in Ethiopia
(African Crop Science Society, 1997)
Competition effects of four of the predominant grass weed species in Ethiopia (Avena abyssinica Hoechst, Lolium temulentum L., Snowdenia polystachya Fresen (Pilg), and Phalaris paradoxa L.) on the grain yield, yield ...
Article
Response of bread wheat to rate and timing of nitrogen application in marginal rainfall zone in Ethiopia
(African Crop Science Society, 1994)
Nitrogen fertilizer rate by timing trials were conducted on bread wheat (Triticum aeslivum L) in peasant farmers' fields during two annual cropping seasons for three years in a drought-prone district of southeastern Ethiopia. ...
Article
Effect of nitrogen fertiliser applied to tef on the yield and N response of succeeding tef and durum wheat on a highland vertisol
(African Crop Science Society, 1999)
A trial was conducted on an Ethiopian Vertisol from 1990 to 1995 to determine the residual effect of fertiliser N applied to tef (Eragrostis tef) following chickpea (Cicer arietinum) on the grain and straw yield, N content, ...
