Abstract

The activity was conducted for two consecutive years, 2019 and 2020 cropping season at Ambo and Dandi districts of West Showa Zone with the objective to evaluate for grain yield, yield related traits and farmers’ perception or preference and the performance of improved teff variety along with recommended package. Sites were selected based on teff production potential of the area. Two districts and three PAs from each district and eighteen target farmers were purposively selected on the ground that they are the leading producer of teff in the area. Training was given for farmers, Development Agents and experts on production of improved teff technologies from site selection up to postharvest practices of improved teff variety. Quantitative data such as yield data was collected and analysed using SPSS, whereas farmers feedback were analysed qualitatively. Recommended seed and fertilizer rate were used for the demonstration trial establishment. According to the result of Dagim variety, mean grain yield 18.79 qt/he and 25.51 qt/he were recorded in Ambo and dendi districts respectively. Thus, Dagim variety is recommended for further scaling up activities at Ambo and Dendi districts taking into consideration of its productivity. Farmers of those areas should use the variety in order to increases their teff production and enhance their income from teff.
