Abstract

Ethiopia has suitable environmental condition for fenugreek production. However, the productivity of fenugreek is very low as compared with world average due to lack of stable, high yielding, and disease resistant genotypes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the promising genotypes and verify the most stable, high yielding and disease resistant fenugreek genotype for midlands of Bale. For the study, the experiment was carried out at three locations from 2009 to 2011production season using 16 genotypes including local and standard checks. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used for the experiment. One of the experiments was conducted at the research farm of Sinana Agricultural Research Center, Oromia Agriculture Research Institute, Sinana and the others at the farmers’ field, Goro and Ginnir. The study found that the Ebbisa (AC-TR-7) variety had above average yield performance in most test environments, out yielded the Chala and Hunda’ol varieties. The average seed yield of Ebbisa over locations and over years is about 13.8 qt/ha. It has also better yield stability than checks. Ebbisa is, therefore, released in 2012/13 for production for all fenugreek growing environments in the midlands of Bale and other similar agro-ecologies.
