This research was undertaken in the Yabello and Abaya districts of Borana and West Guji zone, Southern Oromia with the objective of disseminating the already tested and selected varieties of haricot bean, Hawassa-Dume and Batu to the farming community. The districts were chosen purposively based on the potentiality for Haricot bean production and accessibility to road; and one potential peasant association (PA’s) from each district was selected. A total of 24 experimental farmers, twelve (12) from each PA’s were chosen. Then, 86 participant farmers and other stakeholders were given training by multi-disciplinary team of agronomist, pathologists and agricultural extensionst researchers on importance of technology and its agronomic practices. Two haricot bean varieties, Hawassa-Dume and Batu were sown on 0.25 ha of trial farmers’ fields. A seed rate of 80kg/ha and 100 DAP kg/ha were used with a line spacing of 35 cm between rows. Consequently, a total of 24 farmers were reached, 480kg seed was distributed and an area of 6ha was covered. A mini field day was prepared and a total of 86 participants were attended. The overall grain yield performances of two improved varieties were 12.8 and 5.7 quintals per hectare for Hawassa-Dume and Batu respectively. The research intervention had improved the production and productivity, knowledge and skill of participated farmers. At completion of the research project, an exit strategy was designed to ensure its sustainability. Therefore, all concerned bodies should scale up/out those varieties within the study districts and similar agro ecology to improve the production and productivity of haricot bean in the region.
