Status of Soil and Water Conservation and Its Impacts on Selected Soil Properties and Crop Yield in Omo Nada District, Southwestern Ethiopia

Abstract

Land degradation in the form of soil erosion is the major cause of low agricultural productivity and loss of soil nutrients in Ethiopia particularly in the study area. To reverse these problems, soil and water conservation measures were implemented in the different parts of our country including the study area. This study was conducted to assess the status of implemented SWC practices and their impact on selected soil physicochemical properties and crop yield in the study area
