Popularization of Sanate Bread Wheat Variety in the Highlands of Guji Zone, S...AI Publications
In Ethiopia wheat is the national strategic crop to solve food insecurity. Highland districts of Guji zone were potential producers of bread wheat varieties. The production of bread wheat on large area is limited by occurrence of rust and lack of improved bread wheat varieties. But the demand and supply of wheat is imbalance in the area. Farmers were demanding improved and rust tolerant bread wheat varieties. Sanate variety was tested on small area on few experimental farmers. The variety was recommended for the wheat production in the areas. Therefore, it is necessary to disseminate Sanate variety in highlands areas of Guji zone. The objectives of the study were to popularize Sanate variety, to evaluate yield and profitability of Sanate production, capacitate farmers on bread wheat production and linkage among key stakeholders. Four districts were selected based on wheat production potential. Farmers were selected based their interest to grow Sanate variety and ownership of land. 57.72 quintals of improved Sanate variety was distributed for four districts, 12 kebeles and 156 farmers were participated during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 production seasons. 39 ha of land were covered by Sanate variety. The seed was sown 20 cm between rows and drilling of 148 kg/ha seed rate in the rows. 121kg/ha of NPS fertilizer was applied at planting time. Hand weeding and 2-4-D was used to control weed. Yield data, costs of production, income from Sanate production and farmers’ feedback were collected and analysed by descriptive statistics, qualitative and cost benefit analysis. Training, exchange visit and field day were used for the popularization of Sanate. 539 participants were capacitated on Sanate production. 32.23 qt/ha was obtained from pre scaling up of Sanate. The cost benefit analysis shows that Sanate variety was profitable with 27,966.5 ETB/ha. Even though, Sanate gave high yield and profit at the study areas the variety was not highly demanded on the market due to its dark color. However, it was used for household consumption. The variety was also affected by rust at some farmers field. Therefore, the production of Sanate should be done with the support of fungicide in the highlands of Guji zone.
BRAC- the largest NGO of the world started its own pulse program during the year 2000 to address the issues related to pulse cultivation in Bangladesh and increase the pulse grain production in Bangladesh significantly. Side by side to reduce the poverty and malnutrition BRAC also wanted to contribute more through its pulse program.Three main types of activities such as variety screening, variety development and seed production are being performed in BRAC pulse program and the target pulse crops are mung bean, lentil, pea, cow pea, chick pea etc.Along with the screening of varieties of different pulse crops, several good quality advance lines of mung bean and cow pea have also been developed. Constraints and prospects of of pulse crop cultivation in Bangladesh have also been discussed. #Suggested links of my you tube video on lentil cultivation:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3DfknzVx_c #and another video on mung bean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjyXXQkO4n8&t=1s

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important spice crop of Bangladesh. It is cultivated usually in the winter season. Its cultivation is also easy and require less investment and labour. Although there are a good number of varieties available in Bangladesh, keeping quality of these varieties is not better than a traditional variety ' Taherpuri'. Hence, variety improvement program of 'Taherpuri' was launched at BARDC few years back and an "Improved Taherpuri" onion variety has been delveoped very recently by the BRAC scientists which have excellent size, shape, colour, taste and good storage quality. #suggested link of my you tube video on onion seed production: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGbLuxvsVT4&t=98s
Farmer participatory variety selection in multi location on-farm sorghum vari...ICRISAT
Sorghum plays an important role in the diets and economies of the people of Nigeria. The average per capita annual sorghum consumption in major sorghum growing areas, is more than 75 kg/person and it contributes to more than 50% of the dietary micronutrient requirements, particularly in the northern state's smallholder farmers. However, since 2009, there has been a decline in its production in terms of area harvested and yields (FAOSTAT, 2012), attributable to the unavailability and dissemination of improved varieties and hybrids that are adapted to the Sudan and Sahel ecologies with unpredictable and low rainfall pattern and Striga infestation. In line with the Nigerian Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA), aimed at strengthening the economy through sorghum commodity transformation, ICRISAT in collaboration with Institute for Agricultural Research Ahmadu Bello University (IAR/ABU), developed and evaluated sorghum varieties with farmer participatory evaluation across major sorghum growing ecologies during 2015 rainy season.

Groundnut is an important oil seed crop, grown throughout the tropics and sub tropics worldwide. It is one of the three economically important oilseed crops grown in Ethiopia. Groundnut is commonly produced by small scale farmers as food and cash crops in the study area. The area has potential to the production of Ground nut for food and nutrition security as well as export commodity. However, scarcity of varieties that fit to the environment is one of the major constraints of production. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to evaluate five Ground nut varieties and select early maturing varieties with considerable yield and agronomic traits. The field experiment was conducted in 2017 and 2018 at Abaya and varieties were planted in Randomized complete block design (RCBD). Data were collected on yield and important agronomic traits. The computed analysis of variance revealed significant variations among varieties for days to maturity, number of primary branches, number of pegs per plants, Grain yield and shelling percentage. The pooled over year mean of varieties indicated , Tole- 1 variety ( Check) is high yielding with mean grain yield of 4174.7kg followed by variety Sedi (3552.5kg/ha) and Babile local (3550.4kg/ha).Variety Sedi has special merit in terms of earliness and therefore recommended for moisture stress areas of Abaya and location with similar agro ecologies while Tole -1 (Standard check) is high yielding varieties and should be used in production until new varieties will be developed through selection/breeding program.

Africa RISING and Debre Birhan Agricultural
Research Center

Africa RISING Updating and Planning Workshop
18-19 November 2021
2. Collaborative Potato Seed Multiplication Activity
The reasons behind for the intervention
- Decline in yield over years of varieties at farmer’s hand.
- Farmers in the area were using their own potato seed tuber for
the past 6-8 years.
- Potato seed sourced from other areas (Jeldu and Holetta)
becomes a source of disease (bacterial wilt), which is not
common in the highlands of North Shewa.
- Farmers requested both Africa RISING and Debre Birhan Agri Res
Center (DBARC) during different workshops and meetings for
replacement of potato tuber that exist at their hand.
3. Potato Seed Multiplication
(2019)
• Four potato (Gera, Shenkola, Belete and Gorebela) varieties which
were developed using tissue culture with a seed class of G2.
• 2.51 tons of G2 seed and 14 male farmers.
• We use committee members (model farmers) of Mush cooperative.
• Not clustered, none-uniform management and not inspected.
• The performance of introduced G2 seed was by far better than the
seed that exist at farmers’ hand.
• An average productivity of 30 tons/ha was recorded.
• It was possible to produce an estimated 41 tons/ha of potato seed
tuber.
5. Potato Seed Multiplication (2020)
• 3.2 tons of four potato varieties (Gera, Shenkola, Belete & Gorebela).
• A total of 19 farmers (16 Male and 3 female).
• Clustering of each variety and uniform management.
• Field monitoring and follow-up continuously by AR and DBARC.
• Field day was organized for farmers and different stalkholders.
• The Zonal quarantine and seed inspection unit took the assignment
of inspection but was not successful due to different reasons.
• However, the department did inspection of the potato tuber at the
cooperative DLS and gave them a letter to sell as seed for different
Woredas of North Shewa Zone.
6. • It was possible to produce 67.18 tons of potato seed tuber.
• Mush cooperative collected 37.5 tons of seed from member farmers.
• The cooperative have got a net benefit of more than 200,000 ETB
(USD 4,444- exchange rate of 1 USD= 45 Birr) from the sell of seed
potato.
Case story
Desta W/Aregay = Earned 17,000 ETB (USD 378) from the sell of
potato seed to Mush Cooperative.
Abebe Beza = Earned 20, 000 ETB (USD 444) from the sell of potato to
the cooperative.

8. Potato seed multiplication during 2021
• G2 and G3 seed of class Gera, Shenkola, Belete & Gudene varieties.
• 4.7 seed potato was provided for member farmers of the
cooperative.
• A total of 35 farmers (31 males and 4 females).
• Clustering of each of the three varieties at different site.
• Continues Field monitoring and follow-up by AR and DBARC.
• A big field day was jointly organized by AR and DBARC.
• MoU was prepared and signed between North Shewa zone office of
agriculture and six selected Woreda offices of agriculture to scale.
9. The Zonal quarantine and seed inspection unit evaluated the field
performance of the seed multiplication two times during the
cropping season.
The final evaluation will be done after harvest by taking seed tuber
sample from the cooperative DLS.
We are confident enough that the cooperative will get a certificate
of “Quality Declared Seed (QDS) ” for its potato seed.
This will be for the first time in the cooperative history and good
achievement for both AR and DBARC.
An average productivity of 46.24 ton/ha and a total production of
116.19 tons were recorded.

11. • The cooperative has a plan to collect 100 tons of seed from its
member farmers for this year.
• Mush cooperative has two diffused light stores (DLS) with a total
capacity of storing 30 tons of potato seed tuber.
• The cooperative planned to construct a new DLS with a capacity of
storing 30-40 tons this year.
• Africa RISING project supported the cooperative through
purchasing 200 corrugated sheets of iron with a total cost of
144,000 ETB (USD 3,200).
12. Major achievements of the intervention
- Replacing the old potato seed that stayed longer at farmers’ hand.
- Transition from semi-formal to formal seed multiplication of potato.
- The cooperative will have the capacity to produce quality declared
seed (QDS) of potato.
- Production and productivity was improved over the past 3 years.
- National average 14 ton/ha - 30.18 ton/ha (2019)
- 37.54 ton/ha (2020)
- 46.24 ton/ha (2021)
