Soybean is an important crop in the tropical, hot sub-moist agro-ecological zone of western Ethiopia. However, the yield of the crop is limited due to lack of appropriate plant density for the varieties. Therefore, the experiment was conducted to determine the effect inter row spacing on growth, yield components and yield of soybean varieties during 2016 cropping season in Dale Sedi District, western Ethiopia. Four inter row spacing (30, 40, 50 and 60cm) were evaluated on three soybean varieties (Nyala, Wello and Dhidhessa). The experimental design was randomized complete block design in factorial arrangement with three replications. Highly significant differences were obtained on days to 50% flowering, days to 90% physiological maturity, plant height and hundred grains weight (g) due to the main effect of the variety. Variety Nyala was earlier in attaining flowering (57.12 days), physiological maturity (115.6 days), variey Wello was the longest (84.70cm) and variety Nyala gave higher hundred grain weight (19.91g) than varieties Wello and Dhidhessa. The interaction effect of variety and inter row spacing were highly significant on number of primary branches, on crop stand count percentage at harvest, grain yield and harvest index, number of pods per plant, grain yield and harvest, where the highest numbers of primary branches per plant (4.57) and highest number pods per plant (49.83) were recorded for variety Wello at 60 cm, inter row spacing and the highest crop stand count percentage(99.77), the highest grain yield(3805kgha-1) and the highest harvest index (52.40%) were recorded from variety Nyala at 40 cm, inter row spacing. However, this tentative generalization based one season at one location requires further studies over years and locations to give a valid recommendation.
Large pod hot Pepper is solanaceae family widely grown in many parts of Ethiopia. It is grown as an annual crop and produced for its fruits. It is one of the most important vegetable crops for fresh consumption, for processing and as a spice (for making stew). A field experiment was conducted at Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center on station, Sedi Canqa and Sayo (Meti) sub sites of Kellem Wollega zone, Western Ethiopia, throughout 2019 and 2020 Melka Awaze, Oda Haro and Mareko Fana majorrainy season. Six large pod hot pepper varieties collected from Melkasa and Bako Agricultural Research and one local check variety were used as planting materials. The combined analysis of variance (ANOVA) for total dry pod yield and other agronomic componentsof seven large pod hot pepper varieties grown at three location locations in 2019 and 2020 on days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, plant canopy length, number of primary branches per plant, number of pod per plants, pod length, total dry pod yield revealed highly significant varietal difference. Likewise there was significant difference of variety on pod weight. The interaction effect of variety, location and year revealed highly significant effect days to maturity and total yield. In the present experiment, Melka Awaze and Oda Haro varieties were found superior in the case marketable yield (dry pod), tolerant to major disease and other important yield related components. ThereforeMelka Awaze and Oda Haro improved varieties are recommended for popularization and demonstration around the studied areasand similar agroecologies in the WestWollega and Kellem Wollega zones of hot pepper producing areas under main natural rain fed.
Jajo is a common name given for small pod hot pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) variety with accession name of Acc#28. It is selected out of a local collection done during 2013 from West Wollega and Kellem Wolleg zones and released by Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center for production in West Wollega and Kellem Wollega Zones of West Oromia, Ethiopia and similar agro-ecologies in 2021. In multi-location trial, Jajo gave a mean dry pod yield of 1225.78kgha -1 . Jajo performed better than the standard check, Dinsire, which gave 1010.65kgha -1 mean dry pod yield. On farmers' fields a mean dry pod yield of 1048.83 kgha -1 was recorded for Jajo. Jajo is small pod hot pepper variety with sparse growth habit and up right pod orientation. It is a variety with light green at maturity and light red at dry pod color r used for market use and domestic consumption. Yield stability study showed that Jajo was stable variety in test locations and requires favorable environments for good pod yield. It is also moderately to major hot pepper disease (anthracnose and cercospora leaf spot) and insect pest. The breeder seed of Jajo is maintained by Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center for different research purposes.
