Abstract

The experiment was carried out to investigate the performance of dessert banana cultivars at Raya Azebo with the aim of selecting well adaptable and high yield banana cultivar/s. To achieve the goal of the study, the experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design and replicated thrice. From the experiment, different growth, phenological, yield, and yield-related data were collected, and analyzed using SAS software version 9.3. Dwarf Cavendish cultivar flowered earlier (549.70 days). The maximum number of days (627.20) from planting to fruit setting was recorded on Ducase Hybrid cultivar. Ducase Hybrid gave significantly the maximum bunch weight for the mother (21.04 kg) and daughter (24.53 kg) tree. The maximum number of hand bunch‑1 was recorded on Ducase Hybrid cultivar on both mother (11.31) and daughter (12.17) tree. Ducase hybrid gave significantly the maximum (357.80 qt/ha) marketable fruit yield hectare‑1on the mother tree. On the daughter tree, Ducase hybrid gave significantly the highest (392.5 qt/ha) marketable fruit yield hectare­-1. The average of mother and daughter tree cropping cycle revealed that Ducase hybrid gave first ranked highest marketable fruit yield (375.15 qt/ha), but sensitive to wind. Williams‑I gave the second ranked highest (334.95 qt/ha) marketable fruit yield hectare‑1. Thus, Williams-I cultivar is recommended for the local area. Further, study on water requirements and biochemical content is crucial.

Abstract

Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) is an important fruit produced and consumed worldwide and it’s an excellent source of vitamin C. However, citrus industry in Ethiopia is at an infant stage; which is particularly due to shortage of improved and adapted cultivars and their distribution. Considering these, six sweet orange cultivars were evaluated to select adapted, high yielding and quality cultivar/s. Different growth, phenological, yield and yield component data were collected and analyzed using SAS. Days to maturity was also highly significantly (p<0.01)) affected by cultivars in 2017 cropping year. Fruit weight without rind (flesh weight) and juice weight were highly significantly (p<0.05) affected by cultivars in 2018 harvesting year. Marketable yield, unmarketable yield, and total yield tree-1 were significantly affected by cultivars in both 2017 and 2018 harvesting year. O. Valencia is late matured cultivars which took 1622 days from planting to first harvest. While, P.W.N. is early matured cultivars with average number of days of 1104 from planting to first harvest. In 2017, Hamlin, gave the highest marketable fruit yield tree-1 (68.61 kg) and total yield tree-1 (68.94kg). Jaffa gave significantly the maximum marketable fruit yield tree-1 (197.24 kg) and total yield tree-1 (198.81 kg) in 2018 cropping year. In 2019 harvesting year, Hamlin gave the highest marketable (63.3 kg) and total (64.02 kg) fruit yield tree-1. In average Jaffa and Hamlin gave the maximum marketable fruit yield tree-1 from the three consecutive harvesting years with mean value of 95.38 kg and 72.24 kg respectively. So, in Raya Azebo, and other areas having similar agro-ecologies Jaffa and Hamlin cultivars are recommended. Further, studying the nutritional content and water requirements of these cultivars are suggested.
