    <subfield code="a">&lt;p&gt;Soil erosion is a complex process that involves the detachment, movement and deposition&lt;br&gt;
of soil particles mainly by wind and water but the problem is not noticed and perceived&lt;br&gt;
by all farmers at the same fashion and level. Thus, the study is aimed to assess the status&lt;br&gt;
of farmers&amp;rsquo; perception of soil erosion and management practices in Arbegona woreda&lt;br&gt;
woina-dega agro-ecology zone. A two-stage systematic sampling procedure was&lt;br&gt;
employed to select four sample kebeles and 175 sample household heads to collect&lt;br&gt;
primary data. Interview and observation were also used to collect the relevant data.&lt;br&gt;
Descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis and Likert scale were employed to show the&lt;br&gt;
frequency and percentage distribution of respondents. As the study has been shown the&lt;br&gt;
farmers perception of difficulty for farming, desertification, poverty and economic&lt;br&gt;
backwardness and increase the requirement for fertilizer as the consequences of soil&lt;br&gt;
erosion were found relatively less and not reported by majority of the respondents except&lt;br&gt;
few educated farmers. Concerning the perception to soil erosion management practices,&lt;br&gt;
closure of grazing land, windbreak, fallowing and mulching perhaps are said to have&lt;br&gt;
been the least perceived as management practices used by farmers except those who&lt;br&gt;
attended primary and secondary education.&lt;/p&gt;</subfield>
