The study was initiated with the objective of assessing genetic variability and trait association using 6x6 simple lattice design in Sekota district during main cropping season in 2021. Both plot and plant based data were collected and analysis following the simple lattice design guide. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed the presence of significant differences among genotypes for days to heading, days to maturity, plant...

In Tanzania, groundnut leaf rust (LR) (Puccinia arachidis) early leaf spot (ELS) (Cercospora arachidicola) and late leaf spot (LLS) (Cercosporidium personatum) diseases significantly reduce groundnut yields. This study aimed to determine the effects of location, tillage and variety on LR, ELS and LLS diseases. Location (Coastal zone (CZ), Coastal zone on station (CZ-OS), Eastern plateaux and mountain block zone (EPMBZ)),...
Development of rice varieties for stress-prone tidal Ecosystem of Bangladesh
Article in Press
Evaluation of rice genotypes for stability and high yielding is crucial for maintaining rice production and ensuring food security. These evaluations are crucial, especially when the breeding program's goal is to choose lines with high adaptability and consistency. This research looked at how G and E interacted in 10 different contexts. Multi environment trials (MET) data were studied using the genotype of GGE main effect...
Evaluation of Herbicides for the Control of Chrysanthemum segetum in Wheat Field at Cheliya District
Article in Press
A field experiment was conducted from 2017 to 2018 to evaluate the effective of different herbicides against Glebionis coronaria in wheat field at Cheliya district of West Shoa, Ethiopia. The experiments were carried out in randomized complete design with three replications and it consists nine treatments: 2,4-D, Pyroxsulam, Aminopyralid+ Florasulam Florasulam + Flumetsulam, Pendimethaline, S-metolachlor, S-metolachlor +...

One of the objectives of plant breeding is the development of high-yielding varieties under stress and optimum environments using different methods of plant breeding. The study was conducted to estimate combining ability and maternal effects of quality protein maize (QPM) for grain yield and other agronomic traits under low and optimum soil nitrogen environments. Crosses of 11 QPM inbred lines with five hybrid checks were...

Increasing local production and savings in foreign exchange is important that local rice producers are supplied with quality seed in a timely manner. The overall goal of the research was to assess the seed-rice production potential amongst rice farmer groups in Ghana. A two-stage sampling technique was deployed in the sampling process. Analysis of data was mainly by mean, frequencies and percentages, while the Kendall’s...
Combining Ability Analysis in Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus L.) Genotypes.
Article in Press
Eight sunflower inbred lines were crossed in 8×8 diallel fashion (without reciprocal) and 28 F1 were developed at Oilseed Research Centre (ORC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur in Rabi season, 2018. All F1 and their parents were planted in Rabi season 2019 to estimate general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) effects for yield and yield attributes. The highly...
Trend of Cereal Crops Production Area and Productivity, in Ethiopia
Article in Press
Although Ethiopia is endowed with diverse agro-ecologies suitable for cereal production; the success of the production relay more on climate condition. Therefore, this study was initiated to analysis trends of; cereal crops production area and productivity in Ethiopia. Data of meher season cereal crops productivity (qt/ha) and area of production (ha) were collected from Central statistical Agency (CSA) of Ethiopia. Trend...

Genetic variation is essential to plant breeding for increasing yield, wider adaptation, parental selection for hybridization, desirable quality, and pest and disease resistance. Therefore, this study was planned to investigate genetic divergence and association of agromorphological and oil traits in groundnut cultivars.The crop was sown during 2015 wet season across four locations in randomized complete block design...

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] an important food crop in Ethiopia is ranked second for “injera†quality next to tef. However, the productivity of sorghum is constrained by many biotic and abiotic factors amongst striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth is the most specialized root-parasitic weed inflicting serious injury by depriving water, minerals and photosynthesis from the host. Striga hermonthica is becoming the...

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) also known as monkey-nut, peanut, earthnut and goobers, is a major cash crop and widely grown in all the tropical and subtropical regions of the world for direct use as food, oil and high protein meal, and is the second most important lowland oilseed crop after sesame in Ethiopia. However, its production and productivity is considerably low in Abergelle areas, Northern Ethiopia due to...
