Onion is one of the most important vegetables and high economic crops, but grown by a few small-scale farmers in Basketo special district (woreda). Likewise, productivity of the crop in the district is very low. Lack of improved onion varieties and the use of inappropriate agronomic practices are among the major factors that limit the productivity of onions in the study area. Hence, this study was conducted at Basketo special woreda in 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons under supplementary irrigation to evaluate adaptability and to select high yielding onion varieties using farmers’ selection criteria. The experiment consisted of five improved onion varieties, namely; Adama red, Bombay red, Nafis, Adama Red, Robaf and Nasik Red and arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design in three replications. The results revealed that onion varieties exhibited differential performance in the two cropping seasons in the study area. Accordingly, Nasik red variety gave the highest bulb weight, marketable and total bulb yield (13.23 and 1.75 t/ha) and took a short period for bulb maturity compared to other onion varieties in the two cropping seasons. On the other hand, variety Bombay red produced 11.7 and 11.3 t/ha during the year. However, variety ‘Nafis’ was also selected by the farmers through their criteria. Therefore, onion varieties Nasik red (129.9Q/ha) and Nafis (106.1 Q/ha) are selected and recommended for the onion growers in the study area for better bulb yield.

“…Days to ower were highly signi cantly (p < 0.01) in uenced by the varieties (Table 3), in which the two varieties Bombey Red and Red Croel took longest days to maturity (140.333days to mature), whereas Adama Red matured early (115.333 days to mature). This report was harmonious with the report of 5 . In another hand all tested varieties shown early maturity at all the locations of Maharashtra and Gujarat which is studied by 7 .…”

“…Onion varieties had signi cant in uence on marketable bulb weight. In contrast 5 reported signi cant variation on this quantitative trait. The maximum marketable bulb weight was recorded from Red Croel (65.13Qt/ha) and the minimum marketable bulb weight was recorded from Adama Red 43.813Qt/ha, whereas Bombey Red was yielded 63.987Qt/ha of marketable bulb weight (Table 4).…”

For the study, the research field was laid out and reproduced three times using a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Thus, analysis of variance revealed that the tested onion types had a substantial influence on practically all quantitative parameters except average stand count at harvest, which was non-significant. In the current study, however, the greatest days to maturity (late maturing) were recorded for both Red Bombey and Red Croel (140.333days to mature), whereas the minimum days to maturity (early maturing) was recorded for Adama Red (115.333days to mature). Furthermore, the greatest (6.513t/ha) and least (4.381t/ha) marketable bulb weights were recorded from Red Croel and Adama Red, respectively, while the minimum bulb yield (4.827t/ha) and maximum bulb yield (6.699t/ha) were reported from Red Croel and Adama Red, respectively. Based on the current investigation, it was unable to recommend one variety over another because a single yield trial cannot offer trustworthy information on yield performance of varieties, necessitating a multi-year multi-location yield experiment. However, for the immediate needs of onion crop growers, this experiment suggests that the Red Croel variety was a better bulb yielder than the other analyzed onion varieties in the study area and areas with similar agro-ecological characteristics.
