Evaluation of biological measures and multipurpose adaptive grass on soil bund in Lasta district, Ethiopia

The adverse effect of soil erosion is a major problem in Ethiopia, and water conservation efforts must do to reduce the impact. Use biological measures (grasses) combined with bund have numerous impact for reducing nutrient loss increase moisture conservation, secure animal fodder farm owners low grass potential areas, enhance productivity land green biomass, but its adoption has been limited study area. This explored grasses on experiment want see stabilizer seven treatments randomized complete block design. Moisture content bulk density data were collected analyzed, taken undisturbed sample by gravimetric method, survival rate available plant per total planted times 100, tiller number, height via meter biomass using hanging balance data's collected. analysis was done R-Software mean separation, LSD at 5% significance level used moisture, density, rate, parameters. Grass positive ease use stabilize results 2020 22.2%, 17.56%, 12.3% difference vetiver, Sudan grass, elephant panicum 2021 13% (1.36) comparison control treatment (1.57), respectively. (100%) (80%) performance rehabilitate support protect direct runoff. Panicum scored 77.2 average tillers 0.15 m2 area number that can affect 98.7 cm, 85.4 cm 81 resulted 136.4 91 78.3 record height. great contribution forage other multipurpose yielded 20.8 t/ha 12.7 10.6 2022 Overall, Coloratum Elephant better adaptability survival, contributing additional proceeds production.
