“…Accordingly, the shortest time taken for flowering (112.00) and days of maturing (203.33) were observed on Matoke; while the longer time taken (196.00) for flowering and maturity (288.33) was recorded from Kitawara followed by Cardoba (179.00) (Table 1). According to Njuguna et al (2008); Yoseph et al (2014), the time taken for plating to maturity for banana cultivars reported is higher as compared to the current result. The maturation period variably might be due to genetic differences and the effect of agro-ecology on which crop is grown.…”

Cooking banana is a type of banana mainly cultivated for its fruit, which is eaten as cooked as a vegetable in many food insecurity areas. The experiment was conducted at Dasenech Woreda where food insecurity and malnutrition is the main problem to evaluate the performance of cooking banana varieties for Fruit yield and boiling suitability. Four improved cooking banana verities (Cardaba, Nijiru, Matoke and Kitawira) were used as a treatment and arranged in RCBD with three replications. All the growth, agronomic and sensory acceptability data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SAS 9.0 computer software. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant (P≤0.05) differences among the varieties on day of flowering, day of maturity, plant height, fruit weight, number of hands per bunch, bunch weight and total fruit yield. The early date flowering (112) and date of maturing (203.33), as well as the highest number of hands per bunch (8.66), were observed on the variety Matoke. The higher mean value of average fruit weight (168.33 g), bunch weight (15.66 kg) and total yield (23.46 ton ha-1) were observed on the variety Kitawira followed by Mattoke. For panelists scoring preference, the sensory acceptability means scores of boiled Mattoke, Cardoba and Nijru verities showed positive acceptability value from like slightly (Nijiru) to like very much (Mattoke) while Kitawara showed a negative acceptability level. Therefore, the variety Mattoke was identified as the early maturing, moderately yielder and best sensory quality accepted as compared to other varieties that could be recommended to demonstrate in the study area.

“…Phenological parameters of banana were highly significantly influenced by different banana varieties. Yoseph et al (2014) reported that days to flowering and days to maturity were significantly influenced by banana varieties and Binalfew and Damtew (2015) where also reported morphological traits were influenced by banana genome. Poyo variety was higher in plant height than other varieties and lowest value was recorded in Dwarf Cavendish (Table 2).…”

“…Non-significant difference was recorded for the parameters of fruit length, fruit diameter and mean hand weight (Tables 1 and 3). Yield of banana was significantly influenced by cultivars (Binalfew and Damtew, 2015;Wassu et al, 2014;Yoseph et al, 2014) and this might be due to the adaptability difference and the genome of the varieties.…”

In many developing countries of rural areas, banana plays a significant role as source of economic growth, income, food security and nutrition. Seven dessert Banana cultivars were evaluated at West Hararghe, Mechara. The analysis of variance indicate that there were highly significant (p < .001) difference of all morphological traits except fruit diameter and fruit length. The highest yield ton ha −1 was recorded for variety of Giant Cavendish (11.83 ton ha −1 ) but statistically on par with Robusta (10.67 ton ha −1 ) and Williams −1 (10 ton ha −1 ) and farmers in the study areas prefer Giant Cavendish, Robusta and Williams-I for yield and different morphological traits. These varieties also have the highest number of leaves as well as pseudo stem girth and plant height. Therefore, the varieties viz., Giant Cavendish, Williams-I and Robusta are highly recommended to the society of west Hararghe zone. For future work, we recommended to conduct studies on nutritional quality leaves as feed for animals and fruit quality.

“…Based on the level of banana production, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR) ranks first followed by Oromiya, Amhara and Benishangul-Gumuz in Ethiopia (CSA (The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Central Statistical Agency), 2018). Due to its diverse and suitable agro-ecology for banana growing, Gamo, Kembata Tembaro, Benchi Maji and Sheka zones are the major banana production areas in SNNPR ( (Daniel, 1999;Natnael, 2016;Tekle et al, 2014;Zinabu et al, 2019).…”

Banana is produced by the highest number of farmers in Bench Maji and Sheka zones of the Southern region of Ethiopia. Even though the zones have high banana production potential, several constraints hamper the development of the banana sector along with the value chain. Therefore, this study was intended to analyze banana value chain in these zones of Ethiopia. Data from 180 banana producers were collected and analyzed by using descriptive statistics, marketing margin and econometric Heckman two-stage model. The result showed there is a weak relationship between banana value chain actors. The marketing margin result showed that collectors from the traders' side received the highest profit share in the banana value chain. The econometric regression result showed that extension contact, type of varieties utilized, the area allocated for banana production, distance to the nearest market, total income and education level are significantly determining factors of banana market participation. In addition, lack of an organized market, low demand during the production season, expensiveness of improved varieties and disease were top identified problems by banana producers. Thus, the concerned stakeholders and government need to give attention to increasing improved banana varieties access and improving the technical knowledge of banana producers on using best practices by arranging cross visits and field trips to areas with best banana production practice. In addition, the promotion of value addition practices and the establishment of banana cooperatives to overcome the marketing problem are also suggested.
