2. Decrease in communal grazing land
Decrease in
inorganic fertilizer
use. Increasing
fertilizer price & no
subside.
Decrease in cattle number
Decrease in manure
increased removal of crop
residue for fodder and fuel
Decrease in soil fertility
Decrease in forest cover
4. Trees on farm lands
• households - have trees on their farms
• Common trees – acacia, croton and cordia – kela
-acacia and croton – dorebafana
• Distribution – scattered
• Grown naturally- remnant or regenerated
• Age –old and young trees
• Management – pollarding and pruning (dominant)
– To collect fuel wood, construction material, …
– To reduce shade to acceptable level
– Done once in a year or in two year or in three year
• Benefits- crops cattle and humans
5. • Most households believe that on farm trees improve soil
fertility
– Very few think that trees are competitive with crops
• Almost all recognize soil fertility differences under canopy and
outside canopy
– Evidences
• soil color (darker), soil moisture, appearance of crops
(vigor, taller, color of leaves …)
– When applying fertilizers
• 68 %, 52% (Kela, Dore) of households applied less
fertilizer under canopy
– Reason crops grow faster and collapse when applied on the
same rate
• 32 %, 48% (Kela, Dore) of the households claimed
uniform application, but better crop performance
under canopy
