PARTICIPATORY VARIETY EVALUATION OF LOWLAND RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.) UNDER IRRIGATION CONDITIONS AT DASENECH DISTRICT, SOUTH OMO ZONE, SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA
In Ethiopia, rice is an important cereal product. The lack of improved varieties that are suited to a particular area, however, it is the primary reason why the yield of this crop is constrained.

| description | In Ethiopia, rice is an important cereal product. The lack of improved varieties that are suited to a particular area, however, it is the primary reason why the yield of this crop is constrained. This field experiment was carried out in Omorate, South Omo Zone, Southern Ethiopia, during the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons to assess the production and yield components of rice varieties. Six different varieties were used in the experiment: Ediget, Shaga, GSR Candidate, PARC V1, Nerica-6, and Adet. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used to experiment. Days to maturity, plant height, productive tillers per plant, panicle length, filled grain per panicle, above-ground dry biomass and harvest index were collected. Using the SAS software, an analysis of variance was performed on all data. The combined findings of this research showed that all traits varied significantly (p>0.05 or p>0.01) between varieties. According to the study’s findings and the agro pastoralists’ feedback,the Ediget rice variety was the top preferred. The Ediget variety produced the greatest grain yield (7239.6 kg ha-1) out of all the tested treatments. Therefore, it can be recommended to be promoted in the study area and its vicinity. |
