- W3187297289 abstract "Lack of appreciating farmers’ knowledge and their perceptions of soil degradation and soilconservation measures was the reason for low adoption of recommended technologies. Thisresearch was carried out to evaluate farmers’ perceptions of soil degradation and theirknowledge of the existing soil and water conservation measures in Limo woreda of theSouthern Ethiopian Highlands. Field observations, focus group discussion and semistructured household surveys were carried out in two selected kebeles, with 112 households.The results indicate that farmers were aware of the on-going soil degradation and of severalerosion control measure and land husbandry practices. They perceive soil degradationmainly by reduced yields, soil changing in appearance and becoming stony or coarse. Themost frequently mentioned soil erosion indicators were rill and gully formation followed byexposed underground rocks, soil becoming coarse and stony, and topsoil removal. The mostimportant perceived indicator of soil fertility loss was reduced crop yield, followed by poorcrop performance and yellowing of the crop. Majority of farmers preferred water diversionditch, ridges and counter ploughing for soil and water conservation and chemical fertilizer,crop rotation and mixed cropping for soil fertility amendment while they did not recogniseagroforestry and farm yard manure as a conservation and fertility amendment measure.Farmers faced several constraints in adopting SWC measures: decrease in farm size, itsinconvenience during for free movement of oxen plough, and multiplication of rats in thestone bunds. Any programme designed to address soil degradation should consider thosefarmers criteria for adoption." @default.
