Abstract
The experiment was conducted at Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center, Western Oromia for two consecutive years, with the objective to identify adaptive, high yielding and disease/pest resistance varieties. Seven varieties were grown as experimental treatments in a randomized complete block design (RBCD) with three replications. Analysis revealed that DZ-96 and DZ-123 had maximum percentage of survival rate at one year age 0092 and 0347completely died obtained from in one and two years age. Days of 50% flowering showed statistically highly significant and Mean performance of plant height trait at different ages and seed yield were also significant (p<0.05). Mean green forage yield and Dry matter yield was not significantly (p<0.05) among treatments. But numerically difference was observed among treatments. Maximum fresh weight and sun-dried dry matter yield (DMY) were 84.43 t ha-1 & 27.64 t ha-1 recorded from DZ- 96 followed by DZ-89 and DZ-123 with 18.91 & 18.36 ton ha-1 of sun dried DMY respectively. The best average seed yielders among the tested varieties were recorded from DZ-96 with 47.25 q ha1 followed by DZ-89 with 46.84 q ha-1. It is concluded that DZ- 96 and DZ- 89 were better performance varieties which are suitable for use as animal feeds.
