Farm level implementation of soil conservation measures Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Understanding motivating factors for taking soil conservation measures is seen as key to improving on-farm implementation. However, to date only few on-farm conservation measures have been investigated. The objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of farmers’ subjective beliefs on their intention to apply and actual implementation of cover cropping, with the region of Brandenburg (Germany) as a case. An additional objective was to ...
A long term effects of conservation agriculture technology on sustainability and profitability of soil and water management and crop productivity in the northern Ethiopian highlands Universiteit Gent
Background: Conservation Agriculture (CA) technology is one of the options to curb problems arise from high runoff rates, soil erosion, period drought, period water logging in vertisols and low crop productivity in Northern highlands of Ethiopia. Hence, a long-term tillage experiment has been carried out (2005 to 2010) on a Vertisol to quantify changes in runoff, soil loss and crop yield due to Conservation Agriculture (CA) in the sub-humid ...
Effect of conservation agriculture on soil water balance and crop yield for improved dryland farming on vertisols in Northern Ethiopia Universiteit Gent
Background: In the northern Ethiopian arid and semi arid areas, water shortage is the main constraint to crop production. Changing the current tillage practices with Conservation Agriculture (CA) is one of the options to maximize the rain water use efficiency to increase in situ moisture conservation and thereby increasing crop yield. Hence, a three years (2008 to 2010) study was performed from experimental plots established in 2005 to assess ...
