Land degradation by soil erosion is a wide spread and serious phenomenon throughout the Ethiopian highlands causing significant loss of soil fertility, loss of productivity and environmental degradation. Thus, estimation ...

Soil characterization and classification is an important tool for identifying the most appropriate use of land as well as for sustainable utilization of the precious soil resources. Field survey and soil laboratory ...

The study was conducted with the objective to evaluate the effect of land use types and soil depth on selected soil physicochemical properties. A total of 24 disturbed and 24 undisturbed soil samples were taken from the ...

Production and productivity of common bean is decreased mainly by soil fertility depletion, inappropriate rate of poor nutrients availability and application without soil test, and inefficient crop response. Crop specific ...

Declined soil fertility is one of the main constraints to improve food production in Ethiopia and inadequate information about soil fertility in the study area. To replenish impoverished soils, site and crop-specific ...

Soil resource inventory through characterization provides an insight into the potentials and limitations of soils for agricultral production. Soil fertility, on the other hand, is one of the most important factors controlling ...
