Influence of Varietal Selection and Treatments on Nutritive Value of Some Pulse Residue
Crop residue (CR) is a multi-purpose resource in the mixed crop-livestock systems of Ethiopian highlands. They serve mainly as livestock feed and inputs for soil and water conservation. They are generated predominantly ...
Wide range of genetic variabilrty for herbicide tolerance in Faba bean
Weeds have emerged as major constraint to faba bean productivity. A study was caried out to evaluate
faba bean lines to post-emergence herbicides with 210 g a.i.lha Metribuzin (photosynthesis inhibitor, PI), 82 ga.i.lha ...
Genetic Diversity Study of Ethiopian Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Varieties Using Phenotypic Traits, ISSR and SNP Markers
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the earliest food legumes of the world used as source of high protein for human and animal consumption. In Ethiopia, no studies were conducted on faba bean varieties genetic diversity ...
Can improved food legume varieties increase technical efficiency in crop production?
Faba bean (broad bean), field pea, and lentil are very important legumes in the highlands of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the largest producer of faba bean in SSA. In 2012/13, about 4.4 million small holder farmers planted 574,000 ...
Turning the tide on pulses production in Ethiopia - Faba Bean
Ethiopia is the second major faba bean producer worldwide after China, and it is the first in Africa.
However, in the past, the crop has suffered from biotic stresses such as foliar diseases, root rots and
Orobanche crenata ...
On-farm quality (certified) seed production by seed prodcuer cooperatives or groups
Farmers from the seed producer cooperatives or groups are identified, trained and provided with seed to produce and market the seed as a group through formal and/or informal channels and return the seed in kind. Farmers ...
Identification of faba bean lines tolerant to high dosage of Glyphosate
Orobanche'crenata' Forsk is a parasitic weed that invades faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in the North Africa, East Africa and the Middle East. Several control methods including chemital, mechanical, cultural and even induction ...
Yield Gaps, Varietal Adoption, and Seed Commercial Behaviour: Faba Bean Seed System in the Highlands of Ethiopia
The paper presents the varietal adoption and seed use of faba bean based on primary data collected from 370 faba bean producing farmers covering 19 districts in 13 major faba bean growing zones of Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and ...
