Abstract

Lentil is a self-pollinating annual crop originated in the Near East. Ethiopia is considered as a center of diversity for lentil, making Ethiopia one of the major lentil-producing countries in Africa. So far little has been done to address the impact of climate change, which enables farmers to solve their problem via adaptations at farm-level. Therefore, the current study was conducted with the objectives of evaluating and selecting relatively high yielding varieties. Five lentil varieties (viz; Ada’a, Alemaya 98, Derso, Gudo and Teshale) were evaluated using randomized complete block design with three replications at Dugda, AdamiTulluJiddoKombolcha and ArsiNegelle districts for two consecutive cropping seasons under rain fed conditions. The analysis of variance of an individual environment revealed that seed yield showed a highly significant difference (P ≤ 0.01) at all test environments. This indicated that, varieties might not express the same seed yield performance at a specified test location’s environmental conditions; or different varieties may respond differently to a specified environment. The combined analysis of variance for seed yield also revealed the presence of highly significant difference (P ≤ 0.01) amongst varieties, environments and their interaction. The mean seed yield values of varieties averaged across the locations showed that the variety Derso had the highest mean yield (1.103 tonha^-1) as followed by the varietyAlemaya 98 (0.953 tonha^-1) while, the variety Ada’a had the lowest (0.863 tonha^-1) mean seed yield. The varieties, years, locations, and variety by environment interaction contributed more in varying the seed yield performance. However, the presence of blocking and/or replicating within the testing environment could not influence the seed yield performance of the tested varieties. It could be concluded that the variety Derso and Alemaya 98 were the most adapted and stable varieties for the present ecology of study areas and other similar agro-ecologies.
