Intercropping Ethiopian Trifolium species with wheat

Trials were conducted to test methods of intercropping annual Ethiopian clovers, Trifolium spp, with wheat. Several different clover varieties, sowing methods, plant spacings, planting dates and rates of phosphorus application were compared. The results indicated that the intercropping of Ethiopian clovers in wheat has potential under African highland conditions

Intercropping trifolium spp. in wheat and its suitability for small holder farmer conditions of the Ethiopian highlands

Presents results of a study carried out to develop methodologies for intercropping annual trifolium spp. into wheat, suitable for smallholder farmer conditions. Discusses the effect of soil and climatic factors and factors affecting adoption. Includes data on the effect of P and method of planting on DM yield of intercropped wheat and trifolium spp at Holletta and Shola (Ethiopia), levels of significance of treatment effects on DM yields, and effect of N on DM yields of wheat

Preliminary assessment of some annual Ethiopian Trifolium species for hay production

The dry matter yields of 22 accessions of 7 native annual Trifolium species from the Ethiopian highlands were evaluated for hay production at Shola near Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (altitude 2380 m and latitude 9°02' N). DM yields obtained at a fertiliser rate of 40 kg ha-1 ranged from 1473 kg ha-1 for an unidentified species to 6820 kg ha-1 for T. tembense while, unfertilised yields were between 436 kg ha-1 and 1330 kg ha-
