Dano and Lalo are common names for sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) with pedigree names of BRC-378 and BRC-245, respectively. They were developed and released by Bako Agricultural Research Center for western Ethiopia. At early breeding stage, Dano and Lalo were tested for three years at three locations and the mean grain yield of Dano was comparable with all location means of every season. In multi-location trials, Lalo was the best with 3.5 ton/ha grain yield. The mean yields of Dano and Abamelko were 2.7 and 3.2 tons/ha, respectively. Results of stability studies showed that Dano had above average and Lalo had good general adaptability. Dano and Lalo have maturity that is synchronized with that of the locals compared to that of standard check, which is earlier than the locals. Dano has good popping character, attractive seed color, stays green naturally and has potential for animal feed. Dano and Lalo have moderate resistance to anthracnose and leaf blight with uniform agronomic traits.
Guduru is the common name for teff [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] with the pedigree name of DZ-10-1880. It out-yielded the standard check, Dukem, across all on-stations. In on-farm trials, Guduru maintained its superiority over the standard check, Dukem with 13% grain yield advantage. Guduru has wide yield adaptability in its grain yield performance. It has good traits such as uniform agronomic characters, high biomass, and thick stalk and with low lodging problem. It also has very white seeds and high market value as well as, disease resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
