Soil erosion and degradation are major concerns for sustainable agriculture in the highlands of Ethiopia, negatively af-fecting soil and crop productivity. To address this, efforts are being made to implement stone bunds. Stone bunds, widely used for conservation, are hypothesized to improve soil properties and enhance farming output over time. This study examines the impact of the stone bund age on certain soil properties and wheat yield in the croplands of the Adi Awulie, Adi Ginbot, and May Muk micro-watersheds in southern Tigray, northern Ethiopia. Soil and crop data were collected from eight croplands, including four that had been bunded with stone bunds for 6, 14, 15, and 25 years and four un-bunded plots. The results revealed that stone bunds reduced soil bulk density (Bd) and increased soil moisture, pH, total nitrogen (N), organic carbon (OC), potassium (K), available phosphorus (P), and cation exchange capacity (CEC), compared to plots that were left un-bunded. Wheat grain yields were significantly higher by 43.69%, 21.28%, 47.62%, and 67.42% for bunds aged 6, 14, 15, and 25 years, respectively. Overall, results show that selected wheat parameters were significantly correlated (p < 0.01) with selected soil properties. These findings highlight the importance of stone bund techniques in mitigating land degradation and addressing agricultural and environmental sustainability, offering valuable insights for future land management strategies and local farmers targeting to optimize crop harvests in the region.
