Vetiver Grass
A 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 Rows
Effective 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 Grass
Soil erosion control and forage development on
arable land

Contribution to water harvesting

• Increased water infiltration
• Reduced surface run-off
• Increased water holding capacity
Leading to:
• Lower susceptibility to dry spells
• Improved crop growth
• Higher yields (grain, biomass, etc.)

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                                  Triticale
impressive 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

  • 29. Improved plough Tenkara Kend Contribution to water harvesting • Increased water infiltration • Reduced surface run-off • Increased water holding capacity Leading to: • Lower susceptibility to dry spells • Improved crop growth • Higher yields (grain, biomass, etc.)
  • 32. 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)
  • 33. A cereal crop with Triticale impressive 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
