Abstract
Faba bean is the second most important pulse crop next to field pea in Wag-himera and Lasta areas.
However, its productivity is not more than 500 kg haG . Therefore, evaluation of seven nationally released faba 1
bean varieties against the local check was conducted in RCBD with three replications for two consecutive years
at three locations (Dahna, Sayida and Lalibela) with the objective of identifying adaptable and high yielding
varieties. Thus, based on the results of analysis of variance (ANOVA), AMMI analysis and farmer’s selection
criteria we recommend varieties Mesay and Gebelecho that gave the respective mean seed yield of about 1956
and 1574 kg haG for production in Dahana, Lalibela, Sayida and similar areas.
