Abstract

Aim: The study was aimed to evaluate the yield performance and adaptability among released Desi type chickpea varieties for the target area.

Materials and Methods: The experiment was conducted under rain fed condition at Chiro National sorghum research and training center at Hirna research site during the year of 2019 main cropping season. The varieties were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data were recorded on days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of pods per plant, hundred seed weight and grain yield.

Results: The analysis showed significant difference for the varieties, implying that there was best fit cultivar the studied location. Accordingly, Akaki , DZ-10-11 and Fetenech  Desi type chickpea varieties were top three high grain yield scorers.

Conclusion: It was concluded that Desi type chickpea varieties were top three high grain yield scorers and could be promoted and recommended for  Hirna and similar agro ecological zones of the western Hararghe of Eastern Ethiopia.
