Achieving a Climate-Change Resilient Farming System through Push–Pull Technology: Evidence from Maize Farming Systems in Ethiopia

Abstract: Building climate-resilient farming systems is important to promote the sustainability of agriculture at the global level. Scaling-up agroecological approaches in main staple crops, such as maize, is particularly important in enhancing the climate resilience of millions of smallholder farmers in developing countries. In this regard, push–pull technology (PPT) is an ecological approach to a farming system that aims to improve the climate resilience of maize producers in a smallhold...

Effects Of Nitrogen Levels And Plant Populations On Growth And Yield Of Chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.) Under Dryland Conditions In Kenya

ABSTRACT Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an annual grain legume is a hardy crop well adapted to semi arid areas. Information on optimum fertilizer rates and plant population density has not been developed for the semi arid areas of Kenya. This study conducted in Feb-June 2005 (1st season) and June-October 2005 (2nd season) at National Animal Husbandry Research Centre (NAHRC), Naivasha, determined the effect of applying four different nitrogen fertilizer rates (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) and four...
