Abstract: Haricot bean is one of the most economically important pulse crops cultivated in Ethiopia. However, its average yield reported at national level remains far below the potential yield to be attained. This is partly due to low soil fertility management, inappropriate agronomic packages and diseases and pest problems and lack of improved varieties. Hence, this experiment was conducted with the objectives of to test the performance of released improved Haricot bean varieties on yield and yield related components and Insect and disease resistant varieties for the study at Western parts of Oromia. The experiment was conducted in Buno Bedele (D/Hana) and Ilu Ababor (Bure) districts during 2020 to 2021 cropping season. Nine (9) improved Haricot bean varieties were used as testing materials. The experimental design was RCBD with three replications. Data were collected on six quantitative morphological traits like days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of seed per pod, pod length and grain yields. Analyses of data revealed significant varietal differences (P<0.05) in grain yield, days to 50% flowering, days to 95% maturity, seed per pod and for plant height. However, no significant varietal differences were observed in Number of pods per plant. SER 119 and SER 125 varieties were significantly yielder than the rest and recommended as promising variety under the study area. Therefore, these two varieties are recommended for demonstration and further scaling up.

Abstract: The study was conducted to evaluate effects of bread wheat variety and fungicide application on yellow rust epidemics under natural field conditions at Debre Markos University research site, East Gojjam Zone in the main cropping season of 2021/2022 year. Three different fungicides (Tilt (25EC), Natura (250 EW), and Takeoff (293 SC) including fungicide unsprayed combined with five improved wheat varieties (Honkolo, Wane, Liben, Lemu and Kakaba) were used in the experiment and the experiment was laid out in RCBD design with factorial arrangement and replicated three time. Disease data’s (severity, AUDPC, incidence and grain yield were recorded. The maximum disease incidence (100 %), initial and final disease severity (39.75 at 57 DAP and 66.66% at 78 DAP) and AUDPC (1770.71 %-day) recorded from fungicide unsprayed plot on Honkolo variety. But the lowest disease incidence (1.50 %), initial and final severity (1.89 % at 57 DAP and 2.36 % at 78 DAP) and AUDPC (78.93 % - day) were recorded from the combination of Liben variety with Natura (250% EW) fungicide treatment. Moreover, the maximum grain yield (6.00 t/ha) was obtained from combination of Kakaba variety and Natura (250 EW) fungicide treatment plot. While the minimum yield (3.00 t/ha) was recorded from fungicide unsprayed Honkolo variety. Natura (250 EW) fungicide sprayed varieties were effective to against yellow rust and gave the highest values of yield over unsprayed plots and other fungicides application. However, Combination of Kakaba variety and Natura (250 EW) fungicide application was more feasible than other treatments.
