Abstract: Low productivity of Hot pepper in Ethiopia was associated with different factors among which lack of well adapted varieties are most important ones in the area. Thus, adaptation trial of hot pepper varieties were conducted in Buno Bedele and Ilubabor zone with the objective of evaluating the performance and adaptability of introduced and improved varieties in different Hot pepper varieties. Four hot pepper varieties including local check were studied for their vegetative growth performance and pod yield under rain fed conditions in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Data on different important characters were collected and analyzed using SAS Software of 9.4 version. Thus, combined analysis of data revealed that, varieties showed highly significant at (P <0.01) for all collected parameters. The longest days to maturity (126.67 days) was recorded from Oda haro while the shortest days to maturity (117.67 days) was recorded from Local variety. Beside, the highest Pod number per plant (71.38) was recorded by Melka shote variety and the lowest Pod number per plant (39.87) was recorded from Oda haro. The longest (10.60) and the shortest (8.14) Pod length was recorded from Oda haro and Melka awaze varieties respectively. More wider (1.25cm) and more narrower (0.80cm) Pod diameter were recorded from Oda haro and Melka shote varieties respectively. More over the highest (3.80 t ha-1) and the lowest (2.32 t ha-1) Pod yield was recorded from Melka shote and Local varieties, respectively. Melka shote and Melka awaze varieties were resistant to disease (5r) than other varieties. However Oda haro and Local varieties were moderately susceptible (40ms) and moderately resistant (30mr) respectively. The result of the correlation analysis also revealed that Pod number and Branch number were significantly and positively correlated with Marketable and Total pod yield. Likewise Marketable pod yield was also significantly and positively correlated with Total pod yield. Thus, Melka shote and Melka awaze were varieties showed better performance with their mean yield and yield component. Therefore, these two varieties are recommended to be demonstrated on farmer’s field for further scaling up.

Abstract: An investigation was carried out at the United States Department of agriculture (USDA) Allium Field Mymensingh, Bangladesh Agricultural University Horticulture Farm Laboratory during the period of January 2019 to May 2019 to supervise the effect of root and shoot cutting (steckling) on the seed generation of three different carrot kinds. Four different cutting viz 0%, 25%, 50% and 75% root and shoot cutting (steckling) treatments and three varieties of carrot viz. PA (Prima Agroflora), BA (Brasilia Agroflora) and Indian AC0075 (Germplasm PI 652410). Three replications and a Randomised Complete Block Design were used to set up the experiment. The different percent of cutting and varieties had momentous effect on growth and seed generation of carrot. Among the varieties Brasilia Agroflora developed the best performance in respect of seed generation (0.82 g/plant, 20.41 g/plot and 136.11 kg/ha) copied by Prima Agroflora (0.47 g/plant, 15.00 g/plot and 100.00 kg/ha) and the lowest seed yield (0.73 g/plant, 13.88 g/plot and 92.59 kg/Ha) was filed from the variety Indian AC0075. The treatments percent root and shoot cutting (steckling) had momentous effects on most of the parameters practised. 50% root and shoot cutting treatment significantly influenced the yield and yield subscribing roles and gave the greatest yield of seed (0.73 g/plant, 19.99 g/plot and 133.33 kg/ha) whereas, 0% root and shoot cutting treatment produced the least seed yield (0.64g/plant, 14.25 g/plot and 95.06 kg/ha). Stirring the combined effect of percent root and shoot cutting (steckling) and variety with the maximum output of seeds (0.74 g/plant, 27.77 g/plot and 185.18 kg/ha) was earned from the set of treatments used with the Brasilia Agroflora variety with 50% root and shoot cutting (steckling) and the least seed yield (0.28 g/plant, 9.44 g/plot and 62.96 kg/Ha) was noted from the fusion of diversity Prima Agroflora with 0% root and shoot cutting (steckling) treatment.
