Conduct Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) trials of promising varieties across target agroecologies in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya
PVS trials were established and evaluated in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. In Tanzania for example, six varieties advanced from HOPE 1 were evaluated in 4 districts, each district with 15 trials. All the six candidate ...
Regular updating of the crossing block with new barley varieties for conducting the crossing program of winter barley for different breeding objectives
The new sources of abiotic and biotic stresses have also been identified after evaluation through collaboration with NARS for phenotyping at diverse environments. Crossing blocks (CB) of barley 480 germplasm for spring ...
Conduct Participatory variety and hybrids selection trials across target agro-ecologies in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia
In singida district, variety with tied ridges had mean grain yield of 2.017 t ha-1 compared to 1.596 t ha-1 for variety without tied ridges which was a 26% yield advantage. Varieties ASARECA 24-4-1 (1.983 t ha-1) and IESV ...
DNA markers reveal genetic structure and localized diversity of Ethiopian sorghum landraces
North Eastern Ethiopia is a major sorghum-growing region. A total of 415 sorghum landraces were
sampled to represent the range of agro-ecologies (three altitude ranges) as well as spatial
heterogeneity, that is, 4 zones: ...
Molecular evaluation of Ethiopian sweet sorghum germplasm and their contribution to regional breeding programs
Sweet sorghum is an excellent feedstock for ethanol production and is also used for food and livestock feed. Germplasm collection
and characterization in sweet sorghum is a crucial step towards breeding and development of ...
Training of trainers of partners and staekholders in barley production and seed technology
Three levels of training were implemented by the project: i) Training-of-trainers (ToT) for technical staff from partner institutions undertaken by ICARDA; ii) Training-of-trainers (ToT) for technical staff from partner ...
Early generation seed production of barley in Ethiopia and Iran
Availability of and access to basic of improved varieties remains a stumbling block for barley in most developing countries. Early generation seed (breeder, pre-basic and basic) was produced by NARS through a bilateral ...

Yield Gaps, Varietal Adoption, and Seed Commercial Behaviour: Barley Seed System Landscape in the Highlands of Ethiopia
Barley is among the major food security crops in the highlands and industrial commodity for the emerging brewery industry. This paper documents the current productivity levels, varietal adoption and seed commercial behaviors ...
Popularization and demonstration of barley technologies
Variety popularization and demonstration included improved varieties combined with recommended integrated crop management practices including the use of Axial as post-emergence selective herbicide to control grass weeds ...
