Abstract

The study was conducted inYabello district of Borana zone with the objectives of demonstrating and evaluating the productivity and profitability of haricot bean varieties, creating awareness, improving farmers’ knowledge and skill and enhance linkage among the relevant stakeholders for the two consecutive years, 2020-2021. A total of fourteen (14) trial farmers were selected from two potential haricot bean growing peasant associations. Two Farmers Research Group (FRG) having 30 farmers were established at each peasant associations. Two improved haricot bean varieties, Gofta and SER-119 and one local variety were planted each on a plot size of 10m×10m. Trial farmers were used as replication. Training on which a total of 40 participants took part was organized at Yabello Pasroral and Dryland Agriculture Research Center. Haricot bean varieties were evaluated based on their yield, storability and disease tolerance. Agronomic and yield data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Based on the yield data, 20.2 qt/ha, 13.7qt/ha and 14.1 qt/ha were obtained from Gofta, SER-119 and local (Kulo) varieties, respectively. Gofta has 43.2% yield advantage over local check. Thus, Gofta ranked first at both sites and is therefore recommended for pre-scaling up in the study area in particular and other similar agro-ecologies in general.
