Author(s): Mequannit Aklilu*
Participatory variety choice changed into finished in Tepi Southwestern Ethiopia in 2019 and 2020. The objectives were to perceive farmers' selection standards, to growth farmers' attention and their get admission to to improved rice types, to allow farmers to evaluate the performances of stepped forward rice varieties of their preference and to boost up seed dissemination of farmers' chosen varieties thru farmer-to-farmer alternate mechanisms. The analysis of variance showed that significant differences (p ≤ 0.05 or p ≤ 0.01) among varieties for all of the studied traits, except for thousand seed weight. High grain yield was obtained from NERICA-4 and shaga with yield potential of 3855.2 kg/ha, 3468.9 kg/ha respectively. Farmers listed the selection criteria to select varieties for production viz., grain yield, maturity date, disease resistance, tillering ability, s.. View More»
