- W51147511 abstract "Degradation of the highly scarce agricultural resou rce, land, has been one of the notorious problems in Ethiopia. One form of degradation of la nd resource is soil nutrient depletion. Manure application as a source of major plant nutri ents contributes to managing land resources towards sustainability through the improv ement of physico-chemical properties of the soil. Fallowing too, allows for natural regener ation of the soil. However, decisions on how to manage the land are ultimately made by farmers a nd their decision-making process is influenced by several factors. This paper attempts to examine the effects of some important farm, family and institutional variables on manure use and fallowing in the Northern Highlands of Ethiopia using a logit model. Data fro m 111 randomly selected farm families was collected in a formal survey conducted in the A nkober district of the North Shoa Zone in 1999. The study results show that ownership type, field d istance, slope of plots and labour availability are the most important factors determi ning manure use. Fallowing is affected by land holding, engagement in off-farm activities, li vestock ownership and use of commercial fertilizers. Therefore, it is suggested that introd uction of labour saving technologies that reduce the drudgery associated with manure applicat ion can promote manure use. Ensuring more security of land ownership also encourages manure use as manure takes a long time to decompose. In mixed farming systems improving the livestock component will increase the probability of fallowing. Availability of off-farm activities as a source of other income would also give farmers the possibility to practice fallo wing." @default.
