Evaluate the Adaptability of Improved Food Barley (Hordeum vulgare L) Varieties in the Highlands of Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Food barley is a cool season crop that is suitable for high altitudes and cultivated in various agroclimatic regions under several production systems; however, the unavailability of barley varieties released to study areas was a major issue. Experiments were conducted to verify the suitability of improved food barley varieties and to select high-yielding varieties for the target area. Fifteen food barley varieties were conducted using randomized complete block design with …

Farmers’ Awareness of Bean Ascochyta Blight and Evaluation of Constraints of Bean Production in Rwanda.
Abstract: The awareness and perceptions of ascochyta blight by farmers is an important factor that affects the type of bean genotype adopted. Although farmers in Rwanda prefer large-seeded bean genotypes both for consumption and for market, these genotypes are susceptible to ascochyta blight. It was observed that farmers are abandoning large-seeded bean genotypes in preference for smaller seeded genotypes which seem to be more resistant. Therefore, the objective of this study …

Studies on solar chimney type agricultural crop dryer
Abstract: A natural convection solar chimney type dryer is studied experimentally to investigate the drying temperature distribution and drying rate of the crop. The dryer has been built with black painted solar collector and the chimney attached to create the draft. The performance of the solar chimney type dryer was carried out for the varying the different air inlet gaps. The temperature study showed that the maximum temperature is seen at …
