One of the major limiting factors livestock production in Ethiopia is very low quantity and quality feeds supplied country. This calls for seeking forages that complement poor Hence, target this article was to compare three types grass agronomic performance, yield, chemical composition under different agroecologies harvesting dates (60, 90, 120 days). The field experiment carried out selected d...

Food insecurity is a chronic problem in Africa and is likely to worsen with climate change and population growth. It is largely due to poor yields of the cereal crops caused by factors including stemborer pests, striga weeds and degraded soils. A platform technology, 'push-pull', based on locally available companion plants, effectively addresses these constraints resulting in substantial grain ...

Abstract The effects on the physical and mechanical properties of Napier grass ash (NGA) as substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete hollow block (CHB) were investigated. Mix ratio 1:2:4 with water-cement 0.60, 10%, 15%, 20% NGA replacements adapted. Experimental procedures testing conformed to American Society Testing Materials (ASTM) standards. Slump values, in comparison contro...
