Pre extension Demonstration and Evaluation of Soybean Technologies in Fedis District of East Hararghe Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia

The study was conducted in the Fedis district of East Hararghe Zone an area of major food insecure due to the influence of shortage and uneven distribution of rainfall patterns. Introducing improved technology is an option and has great advantages for the producers to minimize risks associated with it and maximize their benefits. The varieties were new to the area and promoted to diversify the crop under farmer conditions. Soybean varieties were introduced and demonstrated among farmers research groups. The result indicated that demonstrations of improved soybean varieties of korme and ethio eugoslavia recorded similar grain yield 19.56 qt ha and 19.27 qt ha respectively. Both improved varieties were well performed. Awareness of soybean technology for farmers was increased through the promotion of this technology. The result indicated that using improved varieties of Korme and ethio eugoslavia varieties was more advantageous for farmers in diversifying the crop varieties. Therefore, both varieties were recommended for more promotion in the area and other similar agroecological situations to reduce the problem of food malnutrition.
