Evaluation of improved common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Varieties for yield and yield components at West Hararghe, Eastern Ethiopia

Common bean is playing a crucial role across the world mainly in warm and lowland areas of country including Ethiopia. Understanding level drought tolerance varieties available each paramount importance for breeding common adaptation. However, production limited due to lack high yielding potential frequent recurrent drought. Hence, study was aimed evaluate identify superior performance genetic improved yield related traits against A total 10 recently released were evaluated using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at Mieso during main cropping season 2018 2019. The information generated on should help strategy that incorporates adaptation commercial characteristics preferred by farmers be grown diverse environments. combined analyses variance revealed presence tremendous variation among all studied except plant height stand count harvest, which implies availability substantial varieties. Overall, SER-125, SER-19 Nasir had better compared other traits. maximum grain obtained from SER-125 (2620 kgha-1) followed (2612 (2583.33 identified as Eventually, effect significant best performing would recommended specific community its vicinity even though further carried out number target area also put recommendation strong basis. Therefore, based results this experiment, adoption similar
