Participatory demonstration and evaluation of bread wheat technologies: The experience of FRG/FREG approach in Bale and West Arsi zones of Oromia national regional state, Ethiopia
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Crop Science - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents the result of participatory demonstration, evaluation and validation of recently released 4 improved bread wheat varieties (Danda’a, Huluka, Hidase and Shorima) with joint participation of farmers, agricultural experts, development agents, researchers and other stakeholders in Sinana and Agarfa districts of Bale and Dodola district of West Arsi Zones of Oromia National Regional State, Ethiopia in the year 2012/13 through the support of East African Agricultural Productivity Project (EAAPP). Generating, demonstrating, evaluating, validating, popularizing and disseminating improved bread wheat technologies to smallholder farmers are vital in facilitating adoption of these technologies. The objectives were to demonstrate, evaluate and validate the productivity of improved bread wheat technologies under farmers’ condition in the target areas, to improve farmers’, development agents’ and agricultural experts’ capacity (KSA) through training on wheat production techniques and management practices/packages, to establish FRGs/FREGs, to enhance linkage among the relevant stakeholders and to recommend the best-bet improved bread wheat varieties for further pre-scaling up activity.
