Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of Farmers and Farmworkers on Pesticide Use and Safety in Meskan District, Guraghe zone, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Farmers and farmworkers use pesticides to destroy, repel, or otherwise lower pest infestations to protect crops from damage in the world; this is also true in Ethiopian too. However, the variation or lack of the knowledge, attitude and practices of pesticide users is the bottleneck for sustainable use. The title of the study was knowledge, attitudes and practices of farmers and farm workers at the three kebeles (Mekicho, Yetebon and …

Evaluation of Different Blended Fertilizer Type and Rate for Better Production of Wheat in Meskan Woreda, Guraghe Zone Ethiopia
Abstract: In Ethiopia, wheat accounts the fourth level from the total cultivated area and production. Application of balanced essential elements is required to improve production of wheat. However, its productivity is mainly constrained by lack of site-specific fertilizer (NPSB) recommendation in the study area. Therefore, field experiment was conducted at Meskanworeda during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 main cropping season to evaluate the effect of different blended fertilizers on yield and yield components …

Evaluation of Early Performance Different Provenance of Moringa stenopetala (Baker f.) Tree Seedlings at the Nursery Level in Central Ethiopia
Abstract: Moringa stenopetala (Baker f.) Cufodontis is an important and valuable indigenous tree species in the lowland area of Ethiopia. And also the tree have economical, social, and in the livelihood of farmers and play key roles in ecosystem resilience under climate change scenarios. On the other hand, the variability with in plant genetics can be limiting factor to improve species’ appropriateness for a specific site. Therefore, this research aimed to …

The Effect of Urea Fertilizer Rate and Spacing on Dry Matter Yield of Desho Grass-Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa L) Mixture in Mid Altitude of Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Economic development in developing countries is unable to keep pace with the population growth and food/feed shortage. Growing high yielding quality forage crops with appropriate agronomic packages and using cropping systems that enable to produce two or more forage crops in a year at the same place is essential. Experiment was therefore conducted to evaluate the effects of urea fertilizer rate and row spacing on the morphological characteristics, yield and …

Performance Evaluation and Yield Stability of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Hybrid Genotypes in Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Improved maize varieties were released by different agricultural research centers at different times in Ethiopia. However, the productivity of these varieties was not evaluated at wide environment. The variety choice of most farmers in Ethiopia is not suitable for their farm due to lack of awareness about varieties adaptability and their field’s condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability and yield potential of hybrid maize genotypes …

Morphological and Biomass Performance of Indigenous Agroforestry Tree Species Seedlings under Different Provenances at Nursery Level, in Central Ethiopia
Abstract: Multipurpose trees are significantly important for climate change resistance in such a way that they contribute to both climate change adaptation and mitigation. In addition, they have important economic and social benefits for the livelihoods of farmers and also have a considerable effect on the GDP of the country. Therefore, to improve species’ adaptation in specific, site genetics fitness is an important factor. Therefore, the objective of the research was …

Pre-extension Demonstration of Improved Lowland Enset at Gurage and Siltie Zones, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: The southern regions of Ethiopia have a variety of agroecologies suitable for various crops, including Enset, but their range is very limited. On this basis, the Worabe Agricultural Research Center has conducted a pre-expansion demonstration of the improved Enset technology in the Meskan and Dalochadistricts of the Gurage and Siltie zones from 2020 to 2023. The aim of the present study was to generate broader demand, increase production and assess …
