Abstract

This activity was conducted in Dano, Jimma Arjo and Horro districts of Western Oromia with the objective of demonstrating the newly released teff variety Dursi against Kena and Guduru to the farming community in these districts. These districts were purposively selected based on accessibility and potentiality for teff production; and one potential PA from each district were selected based on the aforementioned criteria. After selecting and establishing the FRGs training was provided across the districts. Then after, one variety; Dursi (as newly released variety) as well as Kena and Guduru (as standard checks) were planted on 10 m*10 m adjacent plots on 12 farmers’ field. All recommended agronomic practices were equally applied to all the plots and the fields were closely supervised and were managed well. At maturity, the varieties were jointly evaluated with a team composed of researchers, Farmers and DAs. Despite the slight variability in criteria set by farmers at the respective locations yield, disease tolerance, seed color, plant height, pest resistance, tillering capacity, seed size, lodging resistant, early maturity, spike length, were the common selection criteria across all locations. In almost the entire criterion Dursi excel/beat the standard checks and has met the criteria of the farmers. With regard to yield, 18 qt/ha, 15 qt/ha and 13 qt/ha were obtained from Dursi, Guduru and Kena; respectively putting Dursi on the first rank. Besides; Dursi had yield advantage 14.51 % and 19.10 % than Guduru and Kena; respectively. Furthermore; statistically ANOVA table and mean yield comparison (t-test) results of on farm yield performances showed that as there is highly significant difference at (p˂0.05) among the varieties demonstrated. In terms of profitability, financial analysis result of the study also showed that using Dursi variety can make farmers’ more profitable than Guduru and Kena. As the variety has met the intended criteria of the farmers, the pre-scaling up activity should follow the next season.
