Abstract

The Planting two or more crops at the same time and location is known as intercropping. During the 2019 primary rainy season, the work was done in the Guji Zone in Oromia, Ethiopia, as well as the districts of Adola Rede and Odo Shakiso. Calculating the yield output and cost-benefit ratio of haricot bean and maize intercropping techniques under farmer conditions, as well as the preferences of farmers and other stakeholders, are among the objectives of the demonstration. A district's two Kebeles, or sites, were chosen depending on their potential to produce maize and haricot beans. Fifteen farmers were picked from each Kebele/site and placed in a single FRG. As a result, four FRGs with 60 farmers (15 women and 45 men) were formed. Better haricot bean (Haramaya) and maize (BH-546) cultivars have been shown by growing the crops alone in 100 m2 plots of each species, with the necessary amounts of seed and fertilizer placed 40 cm apart from one another and 10 and 75 cm apart for the haricot bean and maize, respectively. Field days, technological reviews, exchange visits, and training enhanced farmer-to-farmer knowledge of haricot bean-corn intercropping methods. Intercropping metrics, measurement, in-person interviews, and observation were employed to obtain the information. Descriptive statistics and a qualitative examination of the farmers' preferences were used to analyze the data. According to the demonstration results, a net return of 28,007.67 ETB/ha was achieved by producing 2.746 tons of maize and 2.323 tons of haricot beans per hectare

Abstract

Intercropping is the simultaneous cultivation of two or more crops in both space and time. The activity was conducted during the main rainy season of 2019 in the Adola Rede and Odo Shakiso districts of Guji Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia. The demonstration Objectives includes evaluating yield output and cost-benefit ratio of maize-haricot bean intercropping practices under farmers’ condition and assessing farmers’ and others stakeholders’ preference on maize-haricot bean intercropping practices. Two Kebeles/sites per district were selected based on maize and haricot bean production potential. and 15 farmers were selected from each Kebele/site and grouped as one FRGs. Thus, a total of 4 FRGs comprising 60 farmers (45 male and 15 female) were established. Improved maize (BH-546) and haricot bean (Haramaya) varieties were demonstrated with sole cropping of respective maize and haricot bean on plots of 100 m2 area per variety at 40 cm inter- and 10 cm and 75 cm inter- and 25 cm intra row spacing for haricot bean and maize respectively, with recommended seed and fertilizer rates. Farmer-to-farmer learning on maize-haricot bean intercropping practices was enhanced through training, exchange visits, technology evaluation and field day. The data was collected using observation, measurement, face-to-face interviews, and the intercropping metrics. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, and farmers' preferences were analyzed qualitatively
