Abstract:

Land degradation is a severe environmental problem across sub-Saharan Africa, and Ethiopia is among the most affected countries. This study was aimed to know the potential of different grasses on soil and water conservation. Three different grasses were used to evaluate their potential on conserving the soil and water on the farm land with three replications each for two consecutive years. Vetiver, Desho and Elephant grass had deposited 10 and 7 ton/ha of soil in relative to a plot without any grass control. Also, they had increased the soil water by 22.6% as compared to a plot without any grass. Thus the study revealed the best potential of Vetiver and desho grass to conserve both the soil and water. Therefore the study revealed the best and promising potential of treating degraded land by biological measures.

Keywords: Grasses, soil deposition, soil moisture.
