Abstract
Eight varieties of snap bean were tested at three different agro-ecologies (Debrezeit, Zeway and Hawassa) under natural and irrigated conditions. The varieties also were tested for their response to rhizobium inoculation at the different sites. In Ethiopia, snap beans are economically important vegetable crops grown for both export and local markets. The project considers conditions for potential production of snap beans in different seasons depending on the capacity of the farmers and suitability of the varieties, with field tests in different regions for improved adaptability and yield.
