ABSTRACT:
Pepper and onion yield estimate parameters
were conducted during off-season of 2011 using irrigation both at on-station
and at on-farm of Adami Tulu Agricultural Research Center and its surrounding districts
of Adami Tulu, Dugda and Bora district of central rift valley by participating
important influential actors (farmers, NGOs, DAs, district agricultural
officers, etc.) from the inception to evaluate different seed treatment options
that can favor onion and pepper yield estimate parameters. Bombey red and Marekofana
of high yielding, disease tolerant, early maturing, market and farmer preferred
varieties were used for the research by collecting from Adami Tulu Agricultural
Research Center. Data on performance of yield estimate parameters were
evaluated until it was transferred to permanent field. The on-station data
analysis result indicated that except root length and greenness of onion and
seedling thickness and greenness of pepper, majority of yield estimate parameters were statistically (P
