Abstract:
The investigation that is described in this report was carried out
in November and December in 1968 as a minor research commission for
the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA). The land
area covered by the investigation was that of the Ethiopian-Swedish
CADU-project (Chilalo Agricultural Development Unit), mainly the
Chilalo awraja in the Arussi province.
The ti^o months that were spent in the Chilalo area were entirely
devoted to collecting plant material. For that work valuable assistance
was provided by Mr Gugsa Indeshaw from the CADU-project. Analysis
of the material was later on carried out at the Agricultural
College, Department of Plant Husbandry, in Uppsala.
