Journal of Economics & Management Research Journal of Economics & Management Research Research Article Open Access Major Pulse and Oil Crops Production in South Omo Zone Southern Ethiopia Kutoya Kusse Southern Agricultural Research Institute, Jinka Agricultural Research Center Agricultural Economics and Gender Issue researchers, Jinka, Ethiopia ABSTRACT Increasing agricultural production and productivity of one’s country requires fostering the linkage between the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors that are growing in agriculture does not occur without non-agricultural sectors. The major pulse and oil crops production and productivity in the South Omo Zone is very low in relation to the land coverage due to poor improved agricultural technology utilization and low skill on-farm management practices by producers. To solve the major pulse and oil crops production and productivity problems, strong farmers training centers and research extension system are important. The study was conducted in major pulse and oil crop producing districts of South Omo Zone like Debub Ari, Malle, Bena-Tsemay, Hammer, and Dasenech Districts of South Omo Zone. The major pulse and oil crops grown in the area are haricot bean, field pea, mug bean, ground net, sesame, and sunflower. *Corresponding author Kutoya Kusse, Southern Agricultural Research Institute, Jinka Agricultural Research Center Agricultural Economics and Gender Issue researchers, Jinka, Ethiopia.

The major part of the sector consists Agriculture employs more than 65% of Africa’s productive labor of small land holder farmers operating on less than 2 hectares of force and the sector has been identified as the main source of land. On the other hand, the production and productivity of the income for most rural households in Africa [1].

However, the production and productivity of the sector at national level for it agricultural production system in the region is still at its subsistence to have higher impacts on the aggregate economic indicators and level.

  • The Extent of Finger Millet Production in South Omo Zone in the Case of South Ari Woreda
    Current Research in Agricultural Sciences, 2015, 2(1):1-7 Current Research in Agricultural Sciences ISSN(e): 2312-6418/ISSN(p): 2313-3716 journal homepage: http://www.pakinsight.com/?ic=journal&journal=68 THE EXTENT OF FINGER MILLET PRODUCTION IN SOUTH OMO ZONE IN THE CASE OF SOUTH ARI WOREDA Wedajo Gebre1 1 Jinka Agricultural Research Centre, Southern Agricultural Research Institute, Jinka, Ethiopia ABSTRACT In Ethiopia finger millet occupies 4% of the total area allocated to cereals (nearly half a million hectares) each year and also contributes about 4% to the total annual cereal grain production in the country. The production area increased from 342,120 ha to 368,999 ha with an increase of 7.3%, and the productivity increased from 3,769,290 to 5,241,911 quintals with a proportion of 28%. Six varieties (Tadesse, Padet, Wama, Baruda, Degu and Boneya) have been identified for cultivation to date. Though the varieties were initially released for cultivation in the sub-humid and mid altitude areas, their inadvertent introduction in to low rainfall areas found new adaptation zones. The production of these varieties has expanded to dry low altitude areas including regions where the crop was previously unknown. As a result of frequent drought, farmers in the dry rift valley region of Ethiopia widely adopted the variety that it is currently grown as one of the most important crops in this region. Therefore this study was initiated to discuss the production of finger millet in South Omo Zone, Ari woreda and generates information on the extent of finger millet production which is useful in designing suitable approaches for identifying gaps and intervening production constrains in the target area.The study areas comprised major finger millet producing kebeles of Ari woreda.

  • Breeding Practice and Phenotypic Characteristics of Indigenous Woyito
    International Journal of Animal Science ISSN: 2575-7806 Research Article © Nichelatti M. 2020 Breeding practice and phenotypic characteristics of indigenous Woyito-Guji goat breeds reared in Nyangatom and Malle pastoral and agro-pastoral districts of SNNPR, Ethiopia Mekete Girma1*, Sandip Banerjee2, and Tekleyohannes Birhanu1 1Southern Agricultural Research Institute, Jinka Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia 2School of Animal Range Sciences, Hawassa University, Ethiopia Abstract The study was carried to characterize the Woyto-Guji goats reared in two districts (Nyangatom and Malle) of South Omo and also to assess the traits used to select the bucks and does traditionally. The respondents were selected using stepwise purposive followed by random sampling method. The collected data were analyzed using statistical procedures. The qualitative traits were evaluated using non parametric tests. The results indicated that the bucks and does are selected by the community members using traditional descriptors. The traits preferred for selection were those related with adaptation and disease tolerance. The bucks were selected for traits which correlated with their abilities to fend off predators while the does were selected for their mothering and nursing abilities. Coat colors were also considered as important attributes towards selecting the does and bucks, the preferred coat colors were those with white with patchy, red and red with patchy. The selection criteria of breeding doe’s were more concerned on their maternal instincts and nursing abilities while body conformation and coat color were the traits preferred for selection of the bucks. Pastoral and agro pastoral preference of coat color patterns were white with patchy, red and red with patchy which were helpful for the goats of the area for the adaptation on the existing hot environment.
