Any study concerning agricultural use of the soil resources has to begin with the characterization, genetic assessment and classification of the soils since these aid to identify constraints and potentials of soils that ...
Site specific soil studies that include survey, characterization and classification at large scale
are necessary to identify the production potentials and constraints that may limit agricultural
Production and thereby ...
The Decline in soil fertility due to nutrient depletion is a concern for low-input crop
production in most parts of Ethiopia. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the
effect of vermicompost combinations ...
