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 ...

Soil is one of the most important natural resources. However, detailed scientific knowledge and
information are lacking on soil resources. Subsequently, this affects agricultural crop productivity and
profitability if ...
Changes in land use, particularly the transformation of natural ecosystems into managed
agroecosystems under poor management practices, are widespread in Melka Gura Subwatershed in
North Shewa, Ethiopia. Therefore, ...
Soil erosion has become a globally challenging issue that poses a serious threat to agriculture
and natural resources, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia. Estimating the
magnitude of soil loss and ...
Low soil fertility is a prominent factor for low agricultural productivity, whereby inorganic
fertilizers have become important inputs to overcome the problem. In Ethiopia, different
blended fertilizer types are used ...
Soil test based fertilizer recommendation concurrent to the actual limiting nutrients for a given
crop helps to supply adequate and balanced plant nutrients for sustainable crop production
without affecting soil health ...
Understanding the effects of land use types and slope positions on soil physicochemical
properties is an essential for sustainable soil management. Therefore, this study was initiated
to assess selected physicochemical ...
The decline in soil productivity and crop production are major challenge to ensure agricultural sustainability and food security in East Africa sub-Saharan country like Ethiopia particularly in the study area at Girisa ...

and natural resources, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia. Estimating the
magnitude of soil loss and ...
Providing detailed up-to-date and site-specific soil information to the beneficiaries at watershed
level is essential to solve local problems restricting agricultural production. Site-specific
characterization and ...
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 ...
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 acidity is one of the main factors that limit agricultural productivity in many parts of the
world. Study was conducted at Southwest showa Ameya District on acidic soils collected from
dominant crop fields of the ...
Soil acidity is one of the major yield-limiting factor for crop production worldwide, particularly
on highly weathered and leached tropical soils. Different reports have indicated that there is
significant soil acidity ...

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 ...
First and foremost, all acclamation and thanks goes to Almighty God, the Lord of all things and Master of the Day of Judgment who has been helping me in every aspect of my life, including this thesis work.
Furthermore, I ...
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 ...
