title: Response of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to Indigenous Rhizobial Isolates Inoculation on Vertisol of Central Ethiopian Highland

description: A field experiment was conducted at Vertisol of Ginchi, Dandi district, West Shewa, Ethiopia during 2015/16 and 2016/17 cropping seasons to study the effect of different indigenous rhizobial isolates on the yield and yield components of chickpea. Eight rhizobial isolates (CP-5, CP-7, CP-9, CP-10, CP-11, CP-17, CP-100 and EAL-004), one positive control (18 kg N ha-1) and one negative control (no fertilizer source) were the treatments. The treatments were laid in randomized complete block design with three replications. Results indicated a positive response of chickpea grain yield to rhizobial isolate inoculations. Number of pod per plant, above ground dry biomass and grain yield were positively (P ≤ 0.05) altered by the inoculation. Inoculation of rhizobial isolate CP-17 showed a 5 and 10% grain yield increment over 18 kg N/ha and negative control treatments, respectively. The partial budget analysis result showed that application of CP-17 gave the highest marginal rate of return (MRR). Therefore, the rhizobial inoculant CP-17 can be verified and recommended for wider use of chickpea production at Dandi area.

title: Genetic Diversity among Lowland Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana (L) Gaertn) Accessions

description: Two-hundred and twenty-five finger millet germplasm accessions obtained from the Ethiopian Institute of Biodiversity and Adet Agricultural Research Center were evaluated in 15×15 simple lattice design with two replications at Koga Irrigation trials site during the 2016/17 dry season. The objective of the study was to assess the genetic diversity of finger millet genotypes based on morpho-agronomic traits. Data were collected on 16 morpho-agronomic traits. Analysis of variance, and cluster and principal component analysis were carried out, and estimates of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variability, broad sense heritability, and expected genetic advance were made. The analysis of variance revealed that finger millet accessions were significantly different for all of the traits except to days to emergence and number of fingers/ear-head. Genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation were highest for numbers of ear-heads/plant with values of 27.11% and 25.03%, respectively. Estimates of broad sense heritability were highest for clum diameter (95.35%) and the lowest for number of ear-heads/plant (3.04%). The expected genetic advance from selection of the top 5% of the accessions ranged from 18.4% for grain yield/plot to 51.46% for ear-heads/plant. The first six PCs explained about 65% of the entire genetic variations with 17.9%, 13.7%, 11.1%, 8.8%, 7% and 6.5% of the total variation accounted by the first to the sixth PCs respectively. Cluster analysis based on the 16 morpho-agronomic traits revealed five distinct clusters comprising 13 to 64 accessions. Culm diameter, numbers of ear-heads/plant, ear-head width, and grain yield/plant could be used as selection criteria due to high GCV, heritability and genetic advance. Overall, the results of the study depicted the presence of sufficient genetic diversity among finger millet accessions for further use in breeding program.

title: Mineral Composition of Grain and Straw of Tef (Eragrostis tef) Grown on Vertisols

description: Tef grain and straw are important food and feed resources, respectively, in Ethiopia. Chemical analysis was carried out on tef grain and straw grown on Vertisols of three areas of the central and northern districts in Ethiopia in 2008. The grain and straw samples were analyzed from nitric acid- hydrogen peroxide digest using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICPAES) in Australia. Variability among districts in trends and concentrations of different elements of tef grain and straw were observed. The variability could be due to the differences in agro-ecology and soil mineral composition in the different districts. Even though there were some inconsistencies, chemical composition of tef grown in different agro-ecologies was similar. The current study serves to give basic information on the elemental concentration of tef grain and straw to researchers and professionals in tef mineral element composition and nutrition. Additional studies may require across soil types and using different varieties of tef to strengthen the quality of tef in terms of nutrient composition, and to give indications for further research on nutrients that are deficient in soils and plants.

title: Major Insect Pests and their Associated Losses in Quantity and Quality of Farm-Stored Wheat Seed

description: There is considerable debate over the importance of losses associated with insect pests of stored wheat at the farm level in Ethiopia. A survey was conducted to assess the most significant insects and losses of farm-stored wheat in five districts in Amhara, Oromiya, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples, and Tigray regional states of Ethiopia during 2016. One kg samples of stored wheat seed were collected over a period of eight months from 150 farmers. The samples were kept in the laboratory for approximately six weeks to allow the population of insects present to develop and emerge as adults. After adult emergence, the resultant weight loss, seed damage, and loss of seed germination were determined. Major primary insect pests identified were the granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius, Sitophilus spp., and the Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella. Secondary pests such as Tribolium spp., the India meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, and Liposcelis spp. were detected in a few samples. Wheat experienced mean percentage kernel damage that ranged from 3.6 to 13.6%. Mean weight loss due to insects was 1.5%, while mean seed germination was only 72.3%. The present survey indicated that farmers are incurring a considerable loss in the quantity and quality of stored wheat due to insects. Hence, there is an urgent need to devise appropriate tactics for protecting the losses in farm-stored wheat in Ethiopia.

title: The Relationship s between Stem Characters and Lodging Tolerance in Tef ( Eragrostis tef ) Genotypes

description: In cereals stem characters such as plant height, culm thickness and diameter and the number of internodes and their length are among the factors known to modulate lodging tolerance , a key trait in the development of high yielding tef varieties. Knowledge of the relationship between stem characters and lodging has significant implications with respect to designing sound breeding strategies for tef Eragrostis tef )), a staple cereal crop for millions of people in Ethiopia . Previous studies were limited mainly to plant height and the diameter of the two basal culm internodes. With the aim of expanding this knowledge by exploring additional stem characters one hundred tef landraces were studied at three different experimental sites and affirmative evidence was obtained showing that in addition to plant height the length of internodes and peduncle are apt to breeding lodging tolerance in tef.

title: Growth, Yield, and Fruit Quality Performance of Peach Varieties

description: The study was conducted to evaluate peach varieties for their growth, yield and quality performance under Holetta condition. The treatments consisted of six peach varieties including McRed (standard check). The trial was laid in randomized complete block design with three replications. The result indicated statistically similar tree height across the growing seasons except in 2006 and 2007. Tropic beauty, 9A-35C, McRed, 88-18W and 90-19H showed better plant height in their order. All varieties had statistically significant parity in canopy spread in all growing seasons except in 2010. However, there was significant difference in trunk cross-sectional area across all seasons. Tropic beauty and 90-19H exhibited better trunk cross-sectional area. Highly significant differences in mean marketable and total fruit yield, fruit number per tree and average fruit weight were observed. The mean total fruit yields of Tropic beauty and 90-19H were 69.03 and 56.23 t ha-1, respectively. These varieties had 45.0 and 32.5% yield advantage over the standard check, McRed. Moreover, varieties 90-19H, Tropic beauty and 88-22C had better mean fruit numbers per tree and fruit weight (78.12, 76.06, and 76.06 g in aforementioned order) as compared to others. In terms of fruit quality, there were significant differences among varieties regarding total soluble solid, titratable acidity, fruit diameter and ripening index. Variety 9A-35C has the highest TSS (13.67%) while variety 88-18W has the highest TA (1.03%) and fruit diameter (5.76 cm) and followed by Tropic beauty (0.95% and 5.46 cm, respectively). Variety 90-19H exhibited superior ripening index and the least was obtained from 88-18W.

title: Occurrence of Mycotoxins in Stored Maize in Ethiopia

description: Mycotoxins are attracting worldwide attention because of their implications for food safety, food availability, and international trading. A study was conducted to determine mycotoxin occurrences in stored maize in 150 samples collected from five major maize growing districts of Ethiopia: namely, Mer-Awi, Wenberma, Chelia, Halaba, and Toke Kutaye. Total aflatoxins (AFT), total fumonisins (FUM) and deoxynivalenol (DON) were measured using lateral flow immunoassay whereas the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay was used for ochratoxin A (OTA). Results indicated that incidences of AFT, FUM, OTA, and DON were 100, 32.7, 24, and 7%, respectively (N=150). The average level of AFT was 14.7±11.6 ng/g ranging between 6.3 ng/g to 150 ng/g. Incidences of safe levels of AFT were 94.6%, 11.3% and 0% when evaluated by the maximum tolerable level (MTL) of Food and Drug Administration (FDA), East African Community (EAC), and the European Commission, respectively. The average level of FUM in positive samples was 0.68±0.94 μg/g with a range between 0.2 μg/g and 6.52 μg/g. OTA positive samples had an average level of 8.2±30.6 ng/g and a range between 2 ng/g and 186.5 ng/g. Likewise, the average and range of DON in positive samples were 0.65±0.46 μg/g and 0.27−1.98 μg/g, respectively. Co-occurrences of mycotoxins were observed, and AFT-FUM co-occurrence incidence was the highest of all others (32.7%, N=150). The occurrence of mycotoxins in stored maize in Ethiopia is evident from the survey result.

title: Variability in Ethiopian Durum Wheat under Rainfed Environment Subjected to Drought at Anthesis

description: Sixty-four durum wheat genotypes comprised of different sources of origin were field evaluated in a simple lattice design with two replications at Debre-Zeit sandy soil environment during the 2016 main season. The objective was to assess the extent of genetic variability for durum wheat genotypes under rain-fed terminal moisture stress using fifteen agronomic and yield related traits. There were wide ranges of variation for some of traits studied. Analysis of variance also revealed that there were significant variations among durum wheat genotypes for eight out of 15 traits studied, suggesting the possibility of improving durum wheat for these traits. Terminal drought had highly significant effect on grain yield per plot, aboveground biomass, spike length, days to heading and grain filling. Grain yield per plot and straw yield showed the highest phenotypic coefficients of variations and genetic advance, whereas days to maturity and harvest index had the lowest values, respectively. Across traits, the broad sense heritability was lowest (12 %) for harvest index and highest for days to heading (91%) followed by grain filling period (73%). None of the traits had high GCV values indicating that the effect of drought was severe for trait expressions. The existence of high heritability for days to heading and grain filling period along with low genetic advance of 5.15 and 3.01 suggested that the variation observed may not indicate the expression of additive gene action. Five principal components (PCs) with eigenvalue between 1.1 and 3.73 explained a cumulative of about 78.6% of the total phenotypic variability observed among the durum wheat genotypes. Cluster analysis also classified the 64 durum wheat genotypes into five groups. The genotypes found in to five clusters ranged from seven to 15. The genotypes maintained under different groups had specific characters and it may give desirable genetic recombinants in developing drought tolerant varieties. Overall, the present study revealed that there is sufficient variability existed in durum wheat genotypes tested under terminal drought environment.

title: Screening of Drought Tolerant Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes using Yield Based Drought Tolerance Indices

description: Drought is one of the major abiotic constraints seriously influencing bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype production in Ethiopia. Genetic resources and selection methodologies are among the prerequisites to improve the efficiency of breeding for drought tolerance. The objectives of this study were to determine the principal selection indices for drought and to identify drought tolerant genotypes under drought conditions. 256 bread wheat genotypes were evaluated using a simple lattice design with two replications. Number of irrigation and the amount of water supply was similar for both water regimes until 50% heading stages. Non-stressed plots were irrigated 2 times after 50% heading stage, while stressed plots received no water in order to simulate terminal drought. Genotypes showed highly significant differences (P ≤ 0.01) for grain yield under non-stressed and stressed conditions. Principal component and correlation analyses revealed mean productivity, geometric mean productivity, grain yield index and stress tolerance index as the principal indices highly correlated with grain yield in the stressed and non-stressed environments, indicating their suitability for identifying superior genotypes. Genotypes 147 and 100 were identified as more tolerant, which could be useful for drought stress tolerance breeding. Cluster analysis classified the genotypes into nine clusters. Cluster IX consisted of four genotypes, 18,137,100 and 147 gave high grain yield under both the moisture -stressed and non-stressed conditions with high value of mean productivity, geometric mean productivity, grain yield index and stress tolerance index. Therefore, breeders can select suitable genotypes under water-stressed conditions and compare their performance under non-stressed conditions using MP, GMP, YI and STI indices as a means to combine information on performance under both conditions.

title: Effects of Spacing of Elephant Grass and Vetch Intercropping on Agronomic Performance and Herbage Yield of Elephant Grass

description: An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different spacing of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and vetch (Vicia dasycarpa and Vicia villossa) intercropping on plant height, leaf to stem ratio, tillering, stand count, and subsequent dry matter yield (DMY) of elephant grass. The forages for field experiment were evaluated during the main cropping season of 2016 and 2017 at Holetta and Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Centers in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The treatments consisting of three vetch intercropping (pure stand elephant grass, elephant grass intercropped with V. dasycarpa and V. villosa) and four spacing of elephant grass S1(75*75), S2(100*50), S3(125*25) and S4(50*50 cm). The treatment combinations were planted on 13.5m2 plots using randomized complete block design with three replications. Most measured traits revealed significant (P&lt;0.05) differences between the treatments, years and locations. Vetch intercropping resulted 70.0 and 8.5% yield advantage over pure stand elephant grass at Holetta and Debre Zeit, respectively. When combined over locations and years, average annual DMY was 9.47, 12.16, and 12.01 t/ ha for elephant grass planted in pure stand, intercropped with V. dasycarpa and V. villosa respectively. In the combined analysis, herbage DM produced 12.96, 11.02, 10.55, and 10.32 t/ha when planted at spacing of S4, S3, S2, and S1, respectively. S4 had 17.6, 22.8 and 25.6% higher DMY advantage when compared with S3, S2 and S1, respectively. In conclusion, vetch intercropping (at a seed rate of 25 kg/ha) three weeks after elephant grass establishment at inter and intra row spacing of 50 cm substantially improve annual DM yields of elephant grass. Hence, it could be advisable to be adopted by farmers who grow elephant grass in pure stands as livestock feed

title: Hybrid Performance and Combining Ability of Quality Protein Maize Inbred Lines under Low-Nitrogen Stress and Non-Stress Conditions in Ethiopia

description: Poor soil fertility is among the major abiotic stresses affecting maize productivity in Ethiopia. The objectives of this study were to assess hybrid performance and estimate combining ability of elite QPM inbred lines under optimum and low-Nitrogen (Low-N) stress conditions. One hundred and six testcross hybrids generated from line x tester crosses were evaluated together with four checks under optimum and low-N stress conditions at four locations in Ethiopia during the 2015 cropping season using a 5 x 22 alpha lattice design. Combined analysis of variance showed highly significant variations among the genotypes for grain yield and most other agronomic traits under optimum, low-N stress and across environments. Across environments, 10 and 79% of the new QPM hybrids had superior performance over the commercial QPM check (ZS261) and non-QPM check (SC627), respectively. Both general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining ability mean squares were significant for grain yield and most other agronomic traits under each management and across environments, indicating the importance of both additive and non-additive genetic effects in the inheritance of these traits. However, the proportion of additive gene action was higher than that of non-additive for grain yield and other traits under optimum management and across environments. Combined analysis across environments showed that L3, L6, L8, 16 and L18 were good general combiners for grain yield. L4 exhibited good GCA for reduced days to anthesis and silking, and plant and ear heights. QPM inbred lines and high yielding hybrids identified in this study could be used as potential source germplasm for breeding low soil fertility tolerant varieties.
