Event: ECHO East Africa Symposium II on Best Practices in Highland Areas (2016-11-01)

On average, crop yields under DER+ and TER+ increased by 30% and 16%, respectively, as compared to CT. Our study demonstrates that field water conservation tillage practices that incorporate CA principles are effectively increasing green water in the root zone available for crops. RCA systems constitute an in-situ soil and rainwater conservation strategy in northern Ethiopia that increase agro-ecosystem.
