个人简介
Amsalu Nebiyu Woldekirstos (PhD)
Soil fertility and Agronomy
Amsalu Nebiyu is currently an associate professor with over 15 years of experience in teaching and Research specializing in Agronomy (Soil fertility) at the department of Horticulture and plant sciences. He has been engaged in teaching various courses at postgraduate and undergraduate levels mainly in the areas of agronomy, horticulture and soil fertility and plant nutrition. Since joining Jimma University, Amsalu has served in numerous leadership and administrative positions (e.g., research and publications officer of the college of Agriculture; head of the department of horticulture and plant sciences). He either led or has been member to committees involved in many different aspects of teaching and research. At the department of horticulture and plant science, he has supervised more than 40 graduate students in Agronomy, Soil Sciences and Horticulture and published widely.
Amsalu holds a PhD in Applied Biology (Soil fertility) from the University of Ghent, Belgium. He was also a fellow of the Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RIS) scheme of Horizon 2020 program at the Universities of Plymouth, UK; Ghent, Belgium and Spanish Research Council at Zaragoza, Spain.
Amsalu’s research interest focuses on understanding the adaptation and physiological mechanisms of plants growing in smallholder cropping systems in nutrient poor soils of Ethiopia involving cereals and legumes. In these systems, nitrogen and phosphorous are the most limiting factors to crop productivity. He is interested in addressing issues related to N and P-nutrition of crop plants (legumes and cereals) grown in nutrient poor soils of Ethiopia and beyond. Although Ethiopia is endowed with huge amounts of leguminous plants, the potential contribution from N2 fixation by leguminous crops is not well established. There is a potential of screening and recommending high N2 fixing legume genotypes and the isolation of efficient symbiotic microorganisms from the natural eco-systems which can contribute significantly in transforming the nitrogen fixation in different cropping systems.
Currently, he is coordinating a project (Agronomic Bio-stimulation of legumes) funded by VLIR-UOS (Belgium) as part of the University Collaboration for Better Health (UCBH) program between Jimma university and Ghent University, Belgium. He is also involved as co-PI in different collaborative research projects (e.g., Indigenous bio-fertilizer development and biochar for sustainable soils- funded by collaborative crops research program (CCRP) of the McKnight foundation and UNEP, respectively). He is also co-PI of two projects namely: “Inter and Intra-specific Variation in Agriculturally Important Legumes and Interaction with Local Context and Needs”, and “Legume Diversity in Ethiopia: Investigations of the Traits and Values of Selected Legume Crops and Varieties” both funding from CCRP of McKnight foundation in collaboration with Cornell University, USA. At present, Amsalu co-leads a EU (H2020) funded project on “Linking East and West African farming systems experience into a BELT of sustainable intensification (EWA-BELT) in collaboration with the lead university (University of Sasari, Italy and partners from East Africa (Ethiopia, Tanzania and Keny) and West Africa (Ghana, Burkinafaso, Seraleon).
