Pre extension Demonstration and Evaluation of Common Bean Technology in Low Land of East Hararghe Zone, Oromia

Pre extension demonstration of common bean technologies was conducted at Fedis and Babile districts of the East Hararghe zone. One FRG from kebele was established and 10 trial farmers. Both varieties were sown on 10m 10m plot size with full package technology. Farmers were trained by researchers. After the provision of training, farmers were sown on their farms, and regular follow ups were undertaken by researchers. The yield performance of the improved varieties Awash 2 and serie 125 were 18.26, 23.64 qt ha at Ifadin and 20.46, 23.64 qt ha at Riski kebele respectively. The result showed that there is a statistically significant difference at 5 probability level between Awash 2 and serie 125 variety and also serie 125 has 22.5 yield advantage over Aawash 2. Therefore, it is better to pre scale up Awash 2 for the study area and similar agroecologies because of its color, market demand, and market price though its yield is lower than serie 125.
