“…However, its production is challenged by low productivity of landraces, poor farming practices, and biotic and abiotic stresses, among others (Chichaybelu et al 2021;Addisu et al 2023). Of the common diseases affecting the productivity of chickpeas, Ascochyta rabei, Fusarium Oxysporum, and Rhizoctonia solani are recognized as signi cant economic constraints to chickpea production in Ada'a district (Bekele et al 2019). The focus group discussion conducted with Ada'a farmers to identify the crop types to upscale to Ada'a district by Bioversity International and Oromia Seed Enterprise in 2020 enabled us to know the abandonment of chickpea production because of root rot diseases, mostly those mentioned above.…”

“…Shifting crop varieties and diversifying the crop portfolio are common risk-reduction strategies (Makate et al 2022). The use of high-yielding, disease, and pest-resistant, and other abiotic stress-tolerant varieties, coupled with improved crop management practices, is an indispensable approach for increasing chickpea productivity and production (Bekele et al 2019). As crop management practice, adjusting the planting date was included as a package of upscaling.…”

Chickpea is an important cash crop for Ada’a farmers as it does for farmers in Ethiopia and elsewhere in the world. Its production, however, has been dwindling due to biotic and abiotic stresses. According to participant farmers from Ada’a district, the production of chickpea in some Kebeles of Ada’a such as Gubasaye has been abandoned because of root rot and foliar diseases such as fusarium wilt. This paper presents the evaluation of upscaled varieties' performance assessed by metric data as well as through beneficiary farmers' self-assessment data. Recognizant to the problem, five varieties of chickpea tested in the Goro district of the Southwest Shoa zone, were introduced as part of the upscaling of crowdsourcing winner crop varieties in Ethiopia. The introduction of the winner varieties and adjustment of the planting time was found effective in the Ada’a district. Higher grain yield was obtained from the upscaled winner varieties in the range of 2.4–2.53 t/ha, with slight variations over varieties. Habru variety showed slightly higher performance than the others. Survey participant farmers have reported an increase in GY due to growing the winner varieties compared with varieties they used to grow before and gained higher annual income due to higher productivity, marker demand of the upscaled varieties, and premium market price with 6–25 Ethiopian birr (ETB) per kilogram of sold grain of these varieties. High productivity is attributed to the genetic potential of the varieties, their response to farm management, and better adaptation to the local growing conditions. Participant farmers perceived that their livelihood has been improving because of the adoption of the upscaled varieties' productivity and market demand. The annual income of participant farmers is estimated to be 2500 to 181,000 ETB for growing the winner varieties. The results indicate that upscaling pre-tested chickpea varieties and delaying their planting time to early September are effective mechanisms for reducing yield loss to fusarium wilt and root rot diseases. It can be inferred that using the crowdsourcing approach for variety evaluation and selection for upscaling is a robust approach to improve the adoption and dissemination of improved agricultural technologies.

“…From this fusarium wilt is a vascular pathogenic disease that always conside red as soil borne pathogen (Yigrem Mengist et al, 2018). It is one of the major yield limiting fac tors in chickpea, so that selection breeding for host plant resistance is the most important and cos t efficient and eco friendly approach to control the disease (Dagnachew Bekele et al, 2022). The highest fusarium wilt incidence regardless of the Desi type chickpea varieties was observed at A det station, the varieties such as Dimtu (5.45) followed by Mastewal (4.9%) and Geletu (3.9%) w as the highest in in mean value of incidence in that order while the lowest was recorded from the varieties Eshete (1.2) followed by Teketay (1.5%) and Natoli (2.7%).…”

An experiment was carried out in Adet, Debre Zeit, and Fogera stations, with eight Desi and twelve Kabuli type chickpea varieties laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Teketay and Geletu varieties of Desi type chickpea had the greatest combined mean grain yield values of 1803.6 kg/ha and 1608.9 kg/ha, respectively.While Dhera (1840.8 kg/ha), Hora (1818 kg/ha), and Koka (1727.7kg/ha) had the greatest mean grain yield values among the Kabuli type chickpea varieties. In Adet station, Teketay (1960 kg/ha) was top producer among Desi type chickpea varieties while Koka (1411.3 kg/ha) and Dhera (1176.7kg/ha) had the highest mean grain yields. The Desi type chickpea variety Eshete (2933.3Kg/ha) produced the greatest mean value of grain yield at DebreZeit station, followed by Teketay (2433.3Kg/ha) and Geletu (2100.0Kg/ha). Similarly, Hora (3433.3Kg/ha), Dhera (3333.3Kg/ha), and Ejere (3066.7Kg/ha) obtained the greatest mean value of grain yield in Kabuli type chickpea varieties. In general, Fogera station was poorer in performance. The Desi type chickpea variety Natoli produced the greatest mean value of grain at Fogera Station (1161.7kg/ha), followed by Dalota (1074.3 kg/ha) and Teketay (1017.3 kg/ha). The majority of Kabuli type chickpea varieties performed poorly at Fogera station, with Ejere recording the greatest mean grain yield (1028.33kg/ha), followed by Koka (1025 kg/ha), Habru (1015 kg/ha), and Dhera (1012.67 kg/ha).In context, farmers and other chickpea growers of similar Ethiopian agroecosystems can adopt the varieties that were suggested for both general and specific adaptation.

Chickpea is a major source of proteins especially in arid and semi-arid areas of Kenya. However, its average yield per hectare is low when compared to neighbouring countries. This research was carried out to determine the levels of hybrid vigour on yield in the F1 generation. To obtain the F1s, reciprocal crossing between Mwanza 2 and Chaina I was carried out with controls being the parental lines. The experimental layout was a randomized block design replicated thrice for three seasons. A spacing of 50x20cm was used in plants, while all other agronomic practices were maintained constant. Data on grain yield and biomass per plant was obtained by measuring the weight, then subjecting it to a one-way ANOVA in SAS 9.4 software. Mwanza 2 expressed the highest biomass (2.56g), while both parents attained a maximum grain yield of 1.69g per plant. Chaina I x Mwanza 2 hybrid expressed maximum means of F1s for biomass (2.31g) and grain yield (1.4g) per plant. Chaina I x Mwanza 2 hybrid recorded the highest biomass and grain yield in better parent heterosis with 14.36% and 330% respectively. Mid-parent heterosis means were also highest at 24.53% and 405.88% for biomass and grain yield respectively. Further, the heritability was maximum for biomass under Mwanza 2 x Chaina I, varying from 93.1% to 100%, while Chaina I x Mwanza 2, expressed maximum grain yield and harvest index. Better parent heterosis and mid-parent heterosis was highest in Chaina I x Mwanza 2 than its reciprocal, Mwanza 2 x Chaina I.
