Abstract

A participatory variety selection with objectives of selecting high yielding and acceptable chickpea and lentil varieties adapted to the growth environment was conducted at Taba kebele of Damot Gale district, Jole Andegna kebele of Meskan district and Huletegna Choroko of Halaba district in Ethiopia. Due to positive results and success of project field tests, a scaling up of the programme has been adopted with partners from the Bureau of Agriculture, College of Agriculture Officials, experts from the Institute of Agricultural Research and team members of the CIFSRF project.
