What is Soil Management about?

Ethiopia is characterized by diverse climate, topography, geology, soils, hydrology, vegetation, and culture. The diversity in these soil forming factors is responsible for the formation/occurrence, distribution, level of degradation and management of natural resources including soils. The major soil types occupying more than 97% of the area of the country include Leptosols, Nitisols, Vertisols, Cambisols, Calcisols, Luvisols, Gypsisols, Fluvisols, Alisols, Solonchacks, Acrisols, and Regosols. Other soil types including Andosols, Arenosol, Pheozems, Lixisols, and Chernozems also occur widely. The diversity of soil types and their problems across the various landscapes and associated factors call for the need to develop and implement soil management practices that are relevant to the specific problems of the soils. Although soil management may not directly correspond to the types of soils as they appear in specific classification systems like the WRB, soils with similar characteristics can be clustered together and be treated with similar management practices. For instance, acid soils like Nitisols, Acrisols, Lixisols, and Alisols can primary be managed through liming and fertilizat
