- Vetiver GrassA large area treated in Tach Gayint Woreda
- Vetiver Grass Highly effective control of soil erosion Lower
establishment costs than stone bunds No maintenance after
establishment Very drought resistant Increased water infiltration
(water harvesting effect) Repellent effect against rodents Tolerant
to waterlogging No slope restriction Multi-purpose utilization
(forage, thatching, bio-insecticide and mulch)
- Vetiver Grass Contour Hedge RowsEffective Soil and Water
Harvesting
- Vetiver is a good forage The nutritional value of vetiver is
between maize stalks and elephant grass
- Vetiver for road embankment stabilisation
- Forage Bunds / Bana GrassSoil erosion control and forage
development onarable land
- Forage Bunds / Multipurpose TreesSoil erosion control and

Increased water infiltration Reduced surface run-off Increased
water holding capacityLeading to: Lower susceptibility to dry

- Triticale
- History of triticale in Ethiopia Triticale First introduction
to Ethiopia in 1970. Research discontinued due to poor properties
such as shrivelled seeds, etc. 7 varieties obtained in 1997 by
courtesy of University of Stellenbosch (South Africa) Two varieties
released by the National Seed Release Committee in Jan. 2002: Var.
Sinan: short vegetation period Var. Maynet: long vegetation period
More than 25,000 farmers cultivate triticale countrywide (cropping
season 2004)
- A cereal crop with Triticaleimpressive properties Cross between
wheat and rye Seed can be re-used/ re-planted High yielding High
nutritional value Wide environmental adaptability (from lowland to
above 3,500 meters) Can replace maize and sorghum in Striga
affected areas High tolerance to drought, frost, and hail Low
susceptibility to diseases, especially rust
- A cereal crop with impressive properties Triticale18 stems per
plant High tillering capacity
- A cereal crop with impressiveproperties Triticale Deep
rooting
- A cereal crop with impressiveproperties Triticale 6 rows of
grain per spike
- A cereal crop with impressiveproperties Triticale High
tolerance to hail
- Results of On-Farm TrialsBy GTZ / IFSP South Gonder Triticale
Low Input Improved Seed rate 150 kg/ha 150 kg/ha Fertilizer 1 qt
UREA/ha application 1 qt DAP/ha Weeding 2 2 frequency Yield 18 - 25
qt/ha 24 - 32 qt/ha
- Utilization of Triticale Readily accepted by the local
population Utilised for injera, kitta, pasta, tella, areke, genfo,
kollo, and kinche
