Deep Tillage Improves Degraded Soils in the (Sub) Humid Ethiopian Highlands

Intensification of rainfed agriculture in the Ethiopian highlands has resulted in soil degradation and hardpan formation, which has reduced rooting depth, decreased deep percolation, and increased direct runoff and sediment transport. The main objective of this study was to assess the potential impa...
