Abstract Little is known about the sustainability of an intercropping system comprising finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan). We therefore sowed both cover crops and the above crops over 3 years in a seed mix of 8:2 by weight to assess their effects on soil properties, yield potential, and energy‐use efficiency.

Abstract Despite the promising potential of soybean [Glycine max L. (Merrill)] production in Ethiopia, smallholder farmers face challenges such as low yields and nutrient deficiencies, which limit their productivity and economic stability. Thus, the objectives of the input diagnosis/demonstration trials were to enhance the yields of smallholder soybean

Abstract Ethiopia is Africa's second‐largest sorghum producer [Sorghum bicolor (L.) moench]. Despite these potentials, the production and productivity of sorghum yield remained low due to many agricultural factors. Among the factors, sorghum anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum sublineolum is one of the main fungal diseases substantially reducing ...
