Abstract

The activity was conducted in 2019/20 main rainy season at Bore, Dama and Ana Sora districts of Guji Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia. The objectives of the activity were to evaluate the yield performance of improved faba bean technologies under farmers’ condition, evaluate cost-benefit ratio (income of farmers) and to build farmers’ knowledge and skill on faba bean production and management practices and to collect feedbacks from the participants for further research design and the way. Two Kebele per district were selected based on faba bean production potential and 15 farmers were selected from each Kebele as one FRGs member based on willingness, wealthy status and gender consideration. Thus, a total of 6 FRGs comprising 90 farmers (64 male & 26 female) were established. One improved faba bean variety (Aloshe) was demonstrated with standard check (Walki) on the plot size of 100 m² area. Spacing of 40cm between rows and 10cm between plants was used and recommended rate of fertilizer and seed were also maintained equally for all plots. Training, exchange visit and field day were organized to create awareness and enhance farmer to farmer learning on faba bean production. Totally, 113 stockholders participated during training, 33 during exchange visit and 137 stockholders during field day organized. Observation, measurement and face to face interview were employed to collect the data and the collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and farmer’s feedbacks were analyzed qualitatively. The demonstration result revealed that improved variety and standard check were almost comparable average grain yield which gave 4060 kg ha^-1 and 3960 kg ha^-1, respectively. Thus, based on grain yield obtained, farmers’ feedbacks and economic return (52,632 and 50,743 ETB) from Aloshe and Walki varieties respectively are recommended for further scaling up/out.
