Abstract
Ethiopia’s Food production is highly dominated by small-scale farmers who largely depend on rain-fed and traditional agricultural practices [14]. According to Ndaruzaniye [14] Climate variability renders Ethiopian farmers highly vulnerable as was observed during past persistent periods of drought “1972/73, 1984 and 2002/03”. Vegetable production by smallholder’s farmers and floriculture farm by private sectors expanded rapidly around the central arts of Ethiopia particularly in our research area Ada’a district. Tomato is one of the most adopted crops by local farmers as a cash crop to generate income. Although irrigation has long been practiced at different farm levels of management practice, there are no efficient or well managed irrigation water practices. There are very few or no information regarding appropriate management of irrigation water and crop management practices for the rapidly expanding small scale irrigation farms in the area.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
