Exploration of cultural norms and practices influencing women’s participation in chickpea participatory varietal selection training activities: A case study of Ada’a and Ensaro districts, Ethiopia
In order to encourage gender equality in delivery of varietal knowledge to male and female farmers in Ada‟a and Ensaro districts of Ethiopia, chickpea breeders set a policy that each male farmer would bring along his wife ...
Community Seed Production of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and Lentil (Lens culinaris Medic) in Ethiopia
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medic) are the most important grain legumes
covering 21.3% of the total acreage (1.6 million ha) and 24.1% of production (23.2 millon tons) of
all pulse crops in ...
Adoption and impacts of improved chickpea on productivity and food security in Ethiopia
This report analyzed the impact of improved chickpea adoption on productivity and food
security in rural Ethiopia? We estimate the effect of improved chickpea adoption on
productivity with instrumental variable regression. ...
Genotype by environment interaction on yield stability of desi type chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) at major chickpea producing areas of Ethiopia
This study was conducted to determine the interaction between chickpea genotypes with the environment (GxE) on the yield stability and adaptability of desi type chickpea genotypes (Cicer arietinum L.). Seventeen chickpea ...
Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis for Various Quantitative Traits in Desi Chickpea Genotypes under Rainfed Conditions in Ethiopia
Chickpea is rich in protein and micronutrients and plays a significant role in human diet especially as
accompaniment to staples, but grain yields in Ethiopia are still below the crop potential. Field experiments were
conducted ...
A Decade of Research Progress in Chickpea and Lentil Breeding and Genetics
This paper summarizes achievements of chickpea and lentil breeding during the last decade /2005-2015/ in Ethiopia. Gentic yield gains from decadal breeding efforts were 80 kg/ha/year for chickpea and 52 kg/ha/yr for lentil. ...
Genetic Variability and Heritability in Ethiopian Grasspea (lathyrus sativus l.) Accessions
Comprehensive information on genetic variability and selection parameters is very crucial to design breeding strategies. However, very limited information is available in Ethiopian grasspea germplasm. Therefore, the present ...
