CIMMYT Ethiopia
Performance trials (N=52) in two zones (West Shewa and Jimma) in Ethiopia. Trials comprise four nutrient management treatments, namely control with zero fertilizer; and three fertilizer recommendations to achieve the same target yield based on regional fertilizer recommendation, a Nutrient Expert (IPNI software) based recommendation and a soil-test NE based recommendation. Trials were conducted on-farm with four plots per farm. Observations include biomass and grain yields, as well as pre-sowing pH, nitrogen and phosphorus levels. Some N & K data are missing.

Nutrient Ommission Trials (NOT's) conducted in two zones (West Showa and Jimma) in Ethiopia in 2015 and 2016
CIMMYT Ethiopia
Nutrient Omission Trials (NOTs) conducted in two zones (West Showa and Jimma) in Ethiopia in 2015 and 2016. Trials comprise six nutrient management treatments, namely Control (zero fertilizer), PK, NK, PK, NPK, NPK+Ca+Mg+Zn+B. Trials were conducted on-farm with six plots per farm. Observations include soil analysis (0-20cm), biomass and grain yields

Maize is now the major food crop in Ethiopia, but it has poor nutritional quality, in particular inadequate levels of the essential amino acids lysine and tryptophan, which reduces the overall biological value of its protein. In response, quality protein maize (QPM) was developed, combining improved protein quality with storage and agronomic qualities similar to those of conventional maize. Consumption of these varieties leads to greater protein utilization and greater rates of growth among malnourished young children. Adoption of QPM in Ethiopia so far has only been successful in agro-ecological niches where varieties were first released, while farmers expressed a clear demand for later-maturing varieties, similar to the popular BH660 variety. Further breeding at the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) and CIMMYT has resulted in the release of new QPM varieties adapted to all major maize-producing agro-ecologies in Ethiopia. The Nutritional Maize for Ethiopia (NuME) project was therefore developed to bring these QPM varieties to rural households, to increase intake of quality protein and to improve nutritional status and food security. To guide the project’s implementation and monitor its progress, a baseline survey was conducted to measure baseline parameters, including adoption of QPM, awareness of its benefits, food consumption, nutritional status, and food insecurity. To inform the project on its gender strategy, intra-household resource allocation was also studied, and to inform the dissemination and information strategy, the sources of information were also analyzed.

Agriculture in eastern Africa is predominantly rainfed and maize is a major food crop, primarily produced for home consumption and the market by small-scale family farms. The study characterized farm households in the drought prone maize growing areas of eastern Africa synthesizing data from parallel household surveys in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The study provides a comparative analysis of the farm households’ assets, livelihood strategies and crop management practices, with an emphasis on maize and maize seed. This illustrates how farmers in a similar agro-ecological environment but with different socio-economic and institutional settings have variously adapted to living with drought and how the inherent weather risk co-determines the livelihood portfolio, agricultural intensification incentives and system development pathways. The study thereby illustrates the challenges for agricultural intensification in such drought prone environments and the scope for drought tolerant maize varieties and explores the research and development implications.

This dataset contains baseline soil sampling survey data and laboratory soil analysis results from 288 soil samples collected under the Scaling Conservation Agriculture-based Sustainable Intensification (SCASI) project in Ethiopia during 2022. It combines plot-level observations, soil sample metadata, and laboratory measurements, including soil pH, Soil Organic Carbon (OC%), and Soil Organic Matter (OM%). The dataset provides baseline soil-health information for monitoring and evaluating the impacts of Conservation Agriculture-based Sustainable Intensification (CASI) interventions over time.

This dataset contains data from the SCASI Continuous Learning Survey conducted in Ethiopia in October 2022 with 281 participating farmers across 40 kebeles in eight districts and four regions. The survey was designed to obtain direct feedback on the opportunities, challenges, and lessons learned from implementing Conservation Agriculture-based Sustainable Intensification (CASI) practices on demonstration plots. It includes information on crop production, intercropping, plot characteristics, mulching practices, land preparation, planting, crop establishment, weeding, fertilizer management, disease and insect pest control, farmers’ perceptions of CASI performance, and qualitative feedback from farmers and enumerators.

This dataset combines soil sampling survey data and laboratory soil analysis results collected from 256 plots in Ethiopia under the Scaling Conservation Agriculture-based Sustainable Intensification in Ethiopia (SCASI) project. It includes plot characteristics, cropping history, crop-cut yield data, CASI adoption and management practices, geospatial information, farmers’ perceptions of implementation benefits and challenges, and laboratory measurements of soil pH, Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), Soil Organic Matter (SOM), and Bulk Density (BD). The soil sampling survey was conducted during February–March 2025, followed by laboratory analysis in April 2025. The two components are linked through common soil sample identifiers.
