Pre-extension Demonstration of Improved Tef Varieties in the Potential Growing Areas of West Shewa Zones of Oromia, Ethiopia
Résumé
This research trial was implemented in Ejere, Ejersa, Lefo and Dendi districts of west Shewa zone Oromia with the objective of demonstrating the newly released teff variety Ebba and Niguse with standard check Dagime to the smallholder farmers of selected districts. Three districts and three Kebeles from every district were purposively chooced based on accessibility and potentiality for teff production. After selecting farmers training was provided across the districts. Then after, two variety, Ebba and Niguse (a newly released variety) as well as Dagime (as standard checks) were planted on 20m*15m adjacent plots on 6 farmers’ and 3 FTC field. All advised agronomic technics were equally applied to each plots. Organized team of researchers, Farmers and development agent collaboratively evaluated the varieties were reached maturity. Despite the modest distinctions in requirements stablished by farmer’s plant height, disease tolerance, lodging resistance, Tilering ability, seed color, seed size, early maturity, straw yield, grain yield, were the common selection criteria across all locations. Ebba exceed the standard checks and has met the criteria of the farmers. With regard to yield, 22 qt/ha, 20.03 qt/ha and 18.33 qt/ha were obtained from Ebba, Niguse and Dagime; respectively putting Ebba on the first rank. Ebba gave yield advantage of 3.67qt/ha and 16.68% yield increment over the standard cheek Dagime. The net benefit that were obtained from Ebba, Niguse and standard cheek Dagime were 67619.15 ETB, 59969.15 ETB and 63969.15 ETB respectively Given that the farmers desired requirements were met by the verity Ebba hence Based on these result obtained fact, Ebba variety with recommended input was suggested for next scale up and cluster farming for demonstration districts and other comparable location.
