Abstract

The objectives of the study were to evaluate the yield performance of common bean varieties under rain fed in east Wollega, western Ethiopia. Sixteen common bean varieties were tested for yield and yield related traits in completely randomized block design in three replications at Guto Gida district, Uke research and demonstration site in 2020/21. Data were taken from ten quantitative parameters; plant height, leaf area, inter node length, pod length, number of nodes per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seed per pod, 100-seed weight, grain yield per hectare and biomass yield per hectare. The analysis of variance showed that the varieties were significantly different for all traits except number of seed per pod, means that the traits are highly affected by variety. The highest plant height was recorded from the variety Omo-95 (120.0cm), and the lowest plant height was recorded from the variety Melka dima (34.3 cm). The highest pod length was recorded from the variety Omo-95 (22.5 cm), and the lowest was recorded from the variety Mexican-142 (8.0 cm). Grain yield was highly significant and the highest mean for grain yield was recorded from the variety Awash-1 (3.9 ton/ha) and the lowest grain yield was obtained from the variety Dursitu (1.3 ton/ha). Testing of improved varieties is among the best technologies to improve productivity and for specific area recommendation. However, the experiment should be repeated across locations and years for a wide range of recommendation. The present study revealed significant variation among genotypes for traits considered except one insignificant trait. In addition, almost all the genotypes were well adapted to the study area and hence, the high yielding genotypes could be directly used as seed sources for production of common bean.
