Dekoko (Pisum sativum var. abyssinicum) is one of the most important food legumes grown in south Tigray and north Wollo, northern Ethiopia. It is one among the most important food legumes in terms of protein content. It grows mixed and alone with many cereal crops growing in north Ethiopia. This study was conducted in 2015/2016with the objective of selecting adaptable and relatively high yieldi...

Wheat of both the tetraploid (Triticum durum Desf.) and hexaploid (Triticum aestivum L.), is the most important cereal crop in Ethiopia, ranking third in total production (17%) next to maize (Zea mays L.) and tef (CSA, 2002). Wheat covers a total arable land of 110,434 ha with average productivity of about 8.4 qt ha-1, which is below the national average (14.4 qt ha-1). A field experiment was c...

Salinity adversely affects 20-30% of the irrigated area in world. Tomato is sensitive to salinity. It one most severe abiotic factors many agricultural crops and it becoming main problem Ethiopia. This study was conducted evaluate effects different salinity levels on seed germination parameters tomato varieties. laid out a completely randomized design with three replicates. The treatment includ...

Abstract Sorghum is an important food security crop in Ethiopia. As the grain preferred for biomass equally farmers to use it as animal food. It a major lowland parts of eastern Amhara environment area best fits crop. The study was conducted with objective identifying high yielder and adaptable sorghum varieties moisture deficit areas region. Eleven genotypes including two checks were evaluated...

Genotype main effect and genotype by environment interaction biplot analysis is the best fit model for which-won-where pattern analysis, genotype, test evaluation. Hence, aim of this study was to identify stable high-yielding soybean genotypes production in diverse environments using stability model. Eighteen were evaluated across six during 2019 cropping season a randomized complete block desi...

The present study was performed to evaluate the on-station growth performance of local and Dorper × local crossbred sheep in eastern Amhara region, Ethiopia. Data on 302 lambs collected over a 4-year period (2009 to 2012) on local and Dorper × local crossbred sheep at Sirinka breeding, evaluation and distribution site were used in this study. Fixed effects considered were breed, lamb sex, birth...

Summary Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is the major cereal crop used as staple in arid and semi-arid regions of Ethiopia. Low yields are attributed to soil, climate topographic factors. We investigated yield response factorial combination nitrogen phosphorous (NP) well potassium (K), sulphur (S) zinc (Zn), how position farmers’ fields belonging different landscape positions (i.e., ...
