Adisa, O.M. (Omolola); Botai, Christina M.; Botai, Joel Ongego; Hassen, Abubeker; Darkey, Daniel; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Adisa, Alex F.; Adeola, Abiodun Morakinyo; Ncongwane, Katlego P. (Springer, 2018-11)This study analyzed the variability of the agro-climatic parameters that impact maize production across different seasons in South Africa. To achieve this, four agro-climatic variables (precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, ...

Abraha, Amanuel Bokhre; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Truter, Wayne Frederick (MDPI, 2019-08)Soil compaction impedes plant growth by negatively a ecting water infiltration, soil aeration, access to soil water and nutrients, and consequently restricts root development. Previous studies to alleviate such problems ...

Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Ogbazghi, Zekarias Mihreteab; Annandale, John George; Gebrehiwot, Yemane (MDPI, 2020-11-28)Municipal sludge has economic value as a low-grade fertilizer as it consists of appreciable amounts of the macro and micronutrients. When using sludge as fertilizer, the economic aspect should be taken into account. In ...

Musazura, W.; Odindo, A.O.; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Hughes, J.C.; Buckley, C.A. (Water Research Commission, 2018)The Decentralised Wastewater Treatment System (DEWATS) can provide a potential sanitation solution to residents living in informal settlements with the effluent produced being used on agricultural land. This paper reports ...

Magona, Christopher; Hassen, Abubeker; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Visser, Carina; Oosting, Simon; Van der Linden, A. (Elsevier, 2023-05)Quantifying the performance of beef cattle in diverse agro-ecological regions with different climatic conditions could be used by stakeholders to develop region-specific resilience strategies and optimize livestock production ...
-
Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Annandale, John George; Steyn, Joachim Marthinus (American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2009)The nutrient content of sludge produced by municipal water treatment works often far exceeds the requirements of nearby crops. Transporting sludge further afield is not always economically viable. This study reports on ...
-
Mangani, Robert; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Bellocchi, Gianni; Hassen, Abubeker (MDPI Publishing, 2018-09-29)The prevalence of extreme drought and flooding is posing a threat to the food security of Sub-Saharan African countries. There are national and international calls for actions to investigate the level of resilience of ...

Talore, Deribe Gemiyo; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Hassen, Abubeker; Du Toit, J.C.O.; Klumpp, Katja; Soussana, J.F. (Springer, 2015-12)BACKGROUND AND AIMS : The karoo biomes of South Africa are major feed resources, yet soil nutrient depletion and degradation is a major problem. The objective of this study was to assess impacts of long-term (>75 ...
-
Ogbenna, Chioma Vivian; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte (Elsevier, 2023-12)Biosolid applications based on crop nitrogen (N) demand have been widely adopted to attenuate nitrate leaching. However, due to the dependence of N supply on the mineralization rate and the early release of the majority ...
-
Ogbazghi, Zekarias M.; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Annandale, John George; De Jager, Pieter Christiaan (American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2015-03)Sludge application to agricultural lands is often limited mainly because of concerns about metal accumulation in soils and uptake by crops. The objective of the study was to test the following hypotheses: (i) in the short ...

Mangani, Robert; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Bellocchi, Gianni; Hassen, Abubeker (CSIRO, 2018-07)This study assessed two versions of the crop model CropSyst (i.e. EMS, existing; MMS, modified) for their ability to simulate maize (Zea mays L.) yield in South Africa. MMS algorithms explicitly account for the impact of ...
-
Ogbazghi, Zekarias M.; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Annandale, John George (Water Research Commission, 2019-10)When applying municipal sludge according to crop N requirements, the primary aim should be optimizing sludge application rates in order to maximize crop yield and minimize environmental impacts through nitrate leaching. ...
-
Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Annandale, John George; Steyn, Joachim Marthinus; Stirzaker, Richard John; Mbakwe, Ikenna (Water Research Council, 2013-07)Land application of sludge has been shown to improve soil properties and aid crop growth, but the possibility of constituent nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus reaching environmentally toxic levels has caused governing ...
