Abstract:
The productivity and production of chickpeas can be improved by using access-improved varieties that are suitable for the specific agroecology. However, the foundation for adopting new technology is participatory variety selection (PVS). Therefore, this study aimed to identify the best adaptively improved chickpea varieties in northwestern Ethiopia based on the preferences of farmers in Adet and Fogera Districts. The experiment consisted of ten improved chickpea varieties (Desi and Kabuli) that were evaluated in three replications using the mother baby trail approach, including on-station and on-farm evaluations. According to this trail, the highest grain yield among different types of chickpeas was observed in the varieties Teketay (2327.8 kg/ha), Dalota (2175.9 kg/ha), and Geletu (2123.6 kg/ha). Among the Kabuli types, Koka (2813.2 kg/ha) and Dhera (2325.7 kg/ha) showed the highest mean values of grain yield. At Adet location, the varieties Teketay (2772.2 kg/ha), Dalota (2459.7 kg/ha), and Geletu (2270.8 kg/ha) produced the highest grain yield. Similarly, Koka (3195.8 kg/ha), Dhera (2604.2 kg/ha), and Ejere (2601.4 kg/ha) were the top-yielding Kabuli chickpea varieties. Farmers from Adet location in Senkengha Kebele selected three Desi and three Kabuli chickpea varieties, namely Geletu, Teketay, and Dalota, in that order, as well as Koka, Hora, and Ejere. Meanwhile, farmers in Mousobo Kebele identified Koka, Dhera, and Hora from the Kabuli type as the best varieties. The varieties Geletu (1976.4 kg/ha), Dalota (1891.9 kg/ha), and Teketay (1883.3 kg/ha) had the highest mean grain yield at Fogera location. Similarly, in the Kabuli chickpea varieties, the highest mean value of grain yield was obtained from Koka (2430.6 kg/ha) followed by Hora (2097.2 kg/ha), and Dhera (2047.2 kg/ha). Farmers have chosen three of the best Desi and Kabuli chickpea varieties, i.e Geletu, Teketay, and Dalota, and Local check (Shasho) followed by Koka and Ejere at Fogera location, Geina Kebele in that order. In conclusion, the adoption and dissemination of new improved varieties for the new environment can assist the producers such as the farmers for effective chickpea production. This leads to sustainable self-sufficiency of food at the household and country level.
摘要:
通过使用适合特定农业生态学的改良品种,可以提高鹰嘴豆的生产力和产量。然而,采用新技术的基础是参与式品种选择(PVS)。因此,这项研究旨在根据Adet和Fogera地区农民的偏好,确定埃塞俄比亚西北部适应性最佳的鹰嘴豆品种。该实验由十个改良的鹰嘴豆品种(Desi和Kabuli)组成,使用母亲婴儿小径方法对其进行了三次重复评估,包括现场和农场评估。根据这条路,在Teketay品种(2327.8kg/ha)中观察到不同类型的鹰嘴豆中的最高谷物产量,达洛塔(2175.9公斤/公顷),和Geletu(2123.6公斤/公顷)。在卡布里类型中,Koka(2813.2kg/ha)和Dhera(2325.7kg/ha)的谷物产量平均值最高。在Adet位置,品种Teketay(2772.2公斤/公顷),达洛塔(2459.7公斤/公顷),和Geletu(2270.8kg/ha)的谷物产量最高。同样,科卡(3195.8公斤/公顷),Dhera(2604.2千克/公顷),Ejere(2601.4公斤/公顷)是产量最高的卡布力鹰嘴豆品种。来自SenkenghaKebeleAdet地点的农民选择了三个Desi和三个Kabuli鹰嘴豆品种,也就是Geletu,Teketay,还有Dalota,按照这个顺序,以及Koka,Hora,还有Ejere.同时,MousoboKebele的农民认出了Koka,Dhera,和Kabuli类型的Hora是最好的品种。品种Geletu(1976.4公斤/公顷),达洛塔(1891.9公斤/公顷),和Teketay(1883.3公斤/公顷)在Fogera地区的平均谷物产量最高。同样,在卡布力鹰嘴豆品种中,谷物产量的最高平均值来自Koka(2430.6kg/ha),其次是Hora(2097.2kg/ha),和Dhera(2047.2公斤/公顷)。农民们选择了三个最好的德西和卡布力鹰嘴豆品种,即Geletu,Teketay,还有Dalota,和当地支票(Shasho),然后是Fogera位置的Koka和Ejere,GeinaKebele按这个顺序.总之,为新环境采用和传播新的改良品种可以帮助农民等生产者进行有效的鹰嘴豆生产。这导致家庭和国家一级的粮食可持续自给自足。
