Innovation Lab for Small Scale Irrigation (ILSSI) Nutritional Quality and Price of Irrigated Fodder and Other Feed Resources Ethiopia 2015-2016

Description

The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Small-Scale Irrigation (ILSSI) project aims to benefit farmers of Ethiopia, Ghana and Tanzania by improving effective use of scarce water supplies through interventions in small-scale irrigation. This data asset includes two datasets that explore the overall biomass yield, nutritional quality and compatibility of different croppings in Lemo and the Robit Bata watershed in Ethiopia.

21 The dataset presents the effect of inter-cropping irrigated Napier grass with perennial legume forages including Sesbania, Desmodium and Pigeon pea on the overall biomass yield, nutritional quality, and compatibility in the Robit Bata watershed in Ethiopia. https://data.usaid.gov/d/dijj-tmbj
21 The dataset describes the nutritional quality of irrigated oat-vetch forage and Desho grass as well as average market prices of the forages. The data also contains price and quality information for other feed resources marketed in the Lemo, Ethiopia and surrounding districts to provide information that can be used as input in cost-benefit analysis of irrigated fodder cultivation practices. https://data.usaid.gov/d/ryzm-mbmj
