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 …

Participatory Demonstration of Desho and Elephant Grass Strip as Biological Soil and Water Conservation Measures for Erosion Control
Abstract: Participatory demonstration and pre scaling up of biological soil conservation measures (desho andelephant grass)compared with control (without grass) works were conducted in 2011/12 E.C on three beneficiary farmers field by the main objective is contribution of biological conservation measures for controlling soil erosion and assessing farmer perception on these measures. The data were taken from 132 m2 trail area. Average soil loss data that were obtained from Elephant grass 6.6 …

Participatory Demonstration of Grass Strips as Biological Soil and Water Conservation Measures in Kamba Woreda, South Ethiopia
Abstract: Land degradation due to soil erosion and soil fertility depletion is a significant threat to the agricultural system, limiting food security and sustainable agricultural production. This study demonstrated Desho grass strips as biological soil and water conservation measures in Kamba woreda Gamo zone south Ethiopia. Six (6) nearby trial farmers who took part in the demonstration directly were chosen for the study using the purposive sample technique. Sole maize and …

Desho and Elephant Grass Strips for Soil Erosion Control in Sankura District, South Central Ethiopia
Abstract: The decline of soil fertility mainly through soil erosion constrained the agricultural productivity in south-central Ethiopia. The present study has been initiated to answer the question of which grass strips control the soil and nutrient losses when integrated with wheat. Based on the severity of soil erosion,three treatments namely Desho, Elephant, and control were compared for consecutive two years. The result implies that Desho grass controls soil loss by 6.5% …
