Moreover, the formulation of byelaw has assisted farmers by helping them to transfer seed from farmer to farmer and became accountable for their actions. In regard to this demonstration trial has been made by using random complete clock design. Major crops in the watershed, i.e. Teff and wheat were used with 4 different treatments, negative control, compost, NP and NP &amp; compost. The experiment was analyzed using SAS software. The result shows that there is a significant difference in terms of yield between treatments. The application of inorganic fertilizer alone was significantly superior in yield and plant height. In spite of this the yield gained from both application of compost and inorganic fertilizers should be an option. The research demonstrated that use of organic fertilizer was important aspect of agriculture and efficient ways and agricultural machineries should be developed in order to boost organic farming system in the country. In general female participations and investment on informal education of the farmers is important.  Furthermore, strengthening crop production with that of land and erosion management through watershed approaches should be facilitated.</Abstract><CompanyAddress/><CompanyPhone/><CompanyFax/><CompanyEmail/></CoverPageProperties>
