Abstract

It is believed that cut flower industries use more than 201 types of chemicals to control pests and diseases. About 500 tons of residues per hectare per year are generated from a flower farm. These residues are mainly contaminated unwanted leaf and stem which are disposed of in various ways. The cross-sectional study was performed to assess the cut flower residue use in Adami Tullu and Jido Kombolcha Woreda in May 2019. Data was collected through field observation and interviews. The inhabitants of the Anano village reported that they are using untreated cut flower residues to feed cattle due to scarcity of food, especially during the dry season. And they perceive that it will fatten the cattle and have no side effect. The concerned official should give special focus to solve cattle’s food security problem of the village and create awareness about its possible adverse effect of such practice.
