Mean soil pH of study zones are rated as very strongly to strongly acidic and *Corresponding Author : degree of acidity varies across districts. Moving from West Wollega zone to West Showa zone the extent of soil acidity and exchangeable acidity decreases. The soils of West Abdenna Deressa Wollega and East Wollega zones have very high exchaexchanngeablegeable aluminum and acid saturation percentages. Under such extreme acidity, major crops such as maize and E-mail: sorghum in West Wollega and East Wollega zone may grow under suboptimal soil [email protected] conditions. Thu s, soil fertility research should geared towards ameliorating acidic soils with liming materials and developing crop varieties tolerant to soil acidity and Al toxicity. INTRODUCTION Soil pH is a measure of the negative logarithm of such as c alcium, magnesium, molybdenum, and the hydrogen ion activity in the soil solution. It is phosphorus, and toxicity of aluminum, manganese, used as an indicator of the degree of acidity or and hydrogen activity (Ritchie, 1998; Hede et al. , alkalinity in soil. Based on pH scale, soil can be 2001). The dominance of aluminum on the ion acidic, neutral or alkaline. Soil acidity is a term used exchange complex in acid soils directly affects plant to describe soils with a pH value less than 7.0 growth particularly agr onomic crops (Bloom, 2000; (Robarge, 2008). The pH is the master variable Hede et al ., 2001). Aluminum toxicity is a particular controlling ion exchange, dissolution, precipitation, management problem and occurs mainly when pH oxidation reduction-adsorption and complexation in water is less than 5.0 (Robarge, 2008; Menzies, (Murray, 1994). The combined interaction of these 2003). High rain fall, decomposition of organic proc esses influence amount and speciation of matter, acidic parent materials , removal of basic nutrient ions in the soil solution and thus their cations, application of ammonium fertilizers and availability for plant growth (Robarge, 2008). Acid intense weathering are the main cause of soil acidity soils are phyto-toxic due to nutritional disorders, (Hede et al ., 2001; Sumner and Noble, 2003). deficiencies, unavailability of essential nutrients An Official International Journal of Wollega University, Ethiopia. 1 Abdenn Deressa Sci. Technol. Arts Res. J., April-June 2013, 2(2): 01-06 Teff, barely, wheat, maize, sorghum and finger wheat, barley, sesame, finger millet, haricot bean, millet are the major cereal crops grown in East and faba bean, field pea and lima bean. Wollega zones of Ethiopia (Statistical Bulletin, 2012). Production of these major cereal crops in Soil Sampling and Analysis these regions have increased in the last decade. A total of one hundred twenty five soil samples Much of the increase in cereal crops production in were collected from Boji, Jarso, Nejo, Mana Sibu these zones in past decade is due to increase in and Gimbi, Diga, Leqa Dulacha, Guto Gida, Bako area cultivated. However, yield per unit area Tibe and Chaliya districts in 2005 and 2006. In 2011 remained stagnant (Alemayehu et al ., 2011). and 2012, additional three hundred fifty three soil Numerous constraints to yield and productivity samples were collected from Kiremu, Sasiga, Gida growth have been attributed to low levels of input Ayana, Guto Gida and Diga districts. The samples use such as fertilizers, pesticide, improved seeds were collected from 0-20cm depth by auger from and low levels of irrigation, soil degradation, soil farmers’ fields. Composite samples were collected erosion, inadequate agricultural research and from uniform farmers’ field, standard sampling extension, and constraints in market development techniques and sample preparation procedures (Alemayehu et al ., 2011; IFPRI, 2010). Smallholder were followed. During sampling the farmers were farmers in different districts in East and West asked to mention the type of crops they grow in the Wollega zones have reported yield stagnation and parcel of farmland in next cropping season. The even yield decline of cereal and pulse crops and samples were transported to Nekemte soil research lack of response to application of urea and center for laboratory analysis. Soil pH was diammonium phosphate fertilizers. The lack of determined in soil to water ratio of 1:2.5 (w/v). response to fertilizers and yield decline may due to Exchangeable bases (Ca, Mg, Na, and K) were deficiencies of essential such as phosphorus, extracted with 1M ammonium acetate at pH 7. Ca calcium, magnesium and toxicity of acidic cations and Mg were analyzed by titrations using EDTA such as aluminum, iron and manganese in the method. Exchangeable K and Na were measured by agricultural soil systems. As the result this research flame photometer. However, exchangeable bases was carried out to thoroughly investigate the status (calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium) are of surface soil acidity in West Wollega, East not reported in this paper. Exchangeable acidity (Al Wollega and West Showa zones of South Western + H) was determined by saturating the samples with Ethiopia. 1M KCl solution and titrated with sodium hydroxide as described by McLean (1965). Acid saturation MATERIALS AND METHODS percentages were determined by dividing Description of Study Location exchangeable acidity to sum of exchangeable The study was conducted in three zones of cations multiplied by 100. Similarly, aluminum Western Ethiopia. These are West Wollega, East saturation percentages were determined by dividing Wollega and West Showa zones. From West exchangeable aluminum to total exchangeable Wollega zone, five districts namely Mana Sibu, cations multiplied by 100. Descriptive statistics was Nejo, Jarso, Boji and Gimbi districts were selected. carried out using SAS software version 9.01 (SAS, From East Wollega zone, Guto Gida, Leqa 2004). Dullacha, Gida Ayana, Kiremu, Sasiga and Diga districts were selected. From West Showa zone, RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Bako Tibe and Chaliya districts were selected. The PH of soil samples from 13 districts in West selected districts are representative of each zone Wollega, East Wollega and West Showa zones of and were selected purposively.

  • Heading with Word in Woodblock
    Oromia Region, Area brief Regional Overview Oromia (sometimes spelled Oromiya, in the Oromo language) is one of the nine regions of Ethiopia. The 2007 census reported its population at over 28 million, making it the largest state in terms of both population and area. Oromia shares a boundary with every Region of Ethiopia except for the Tigray Region. With an estimated area of 353,006.81 square kilometers, this region has an estimated population density of 76.93 people per square kilometer. The region includes the former major Ethiopian provinces Arsi, Bale, Hararghe, Illubabor, Kaffa, Shewa, Sidamo, and Welega provinces. Its current capital is officially Addis Ababa (Oromo: Finfinne). Administratively, Adama serves as a center for the regional state. Other important cities and towns include Adama, Ambo, Asella, Bishoftu, Dembidolo, Fiche, Gimbi, Goba, Jimma, Metu, Negele Boran, Nekemte, Shashamane and Waliso. The Regional infant mortality rate is 76 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, similar to the nationwide average of 77; at least half of these deaths occurr in the infants’ first month of life. Low latrine coverage and little awareness of basic hygiene practices across many parts of the region are having a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of children and their families. In view of the above Save the Children in collaboration with the government and other key allies’ works to achieve MDG 4 and 5 by reducing maternal, newborn and child deaths. As part of our EVERYONE campaign we work to raise awareness in communities about safe delivery and child caring practices. We also work with relevant partners to improve the WASH services and practices at household and facility level.
