Abstract

Avocado is among the subtropical fruit crops produced in Ethiopia; however, the production and Productivity of avocado is influenced by different factors; of which lack of improved and well adapted varieties are the major one. So, an experiment was conducted at Fachagama from 2013 to 2019 to evaluate and select the best adaptable avocado variety/ies at Raya Valley. Six avocado varieties namely Ettinger, Fuerte, Pinkarton, Hass, Naba and Bacon were laid in RCBD and replicated three times. To achieve the objective, the growth, phenological and yield data were collected and analyzed using SAS software.  Accordingly, above graft union stem girth diameter was significantly (P≤0.01) affected by variety, while tree height and canopy diameter were not significantly ascertained by variety. All the tested avocado fruit yield parameters were significantly (P≤0.01) influenced by variety throughout the three years except marketable fruit yield tree-1 and the total yield tree-1 which was not significantly (P≥0.5) determined by variety during 2017 fruit harvesting year. Variety exerted significant (P≤0.01) variation on fruit length (cm) fruit weight (g) and seed weight respectively, throughout the three years (2016-2018), the two years (2017 and 2018) and the two years (2016 and2018). The highest girth diameter (61.44mm) was obtained on Nabal variety. Likewise, the highest (15.51 and18.88kg tree-1) total yield was recorded in Pikerton and Bacon varieties respectively during 2016 and 2018 respectively. From the result Pinkerton and Bacon are recommended for Raya Valley and other areas having similar agro-ecologies.  However, it is important to consider the water requirements in terms of irrigation depth and frequency of avocado.

Abstract

The experiment was carried out to investigate the performance of dessert banana cultivars at Raya Azebo with the aim of selecting well adaptable and high yield banana cultivar/s. To achieve the goal of the study, the experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design and replicated thrice. From the experiment, different growth, phenological, yield, and yield-related data were collected, and analyzed using SAS software version 9.3. Dwarf Cavendish cultivar flowered earlier (549.70 days). The maximum number of days (627.20) from planting to fruit setting was recorded on Ducase Hybrid cultivar. Ducase Hybrid gave significantly the maximum bunch weight for the mother (21.04 kg) and daughter (24.53 kg) tree. The maximum number of hand bunch‑1 was recorded on Ducase Hybrid cultivar on both mother (11.31) and daughter (12.17) tree. Ducase hybrid gave significantly the maximum (357.80 qt/ha) marketable fruit yield hectare‑1on the mother tree. On the daughter tree, Ducase hybrid gave significantly the highest (392.5 qt/ha) marketable fruit yield hectare­-1. The average of mother and daughter tree cropping cycle revealed that Ducase hybrid gave first ranked highest marketable fruit yield (375.15 qt/ha), but sensitive to wind. Williams‑I gave the second ranked highest (334.95 qt/ha) marketable fruit yield hectare‑1. Thus, Williams-I cultivar is recommended for the local area. Further, study on water requirements and biochemical content is crucial.
