Abstract

The national average yield of Tef is low at 1.75 t ha^-1. This is partially due to lack of high yielding Tef genotypes for different Tef growing areas. Therefore, the present study was designed to develop high yielding, and desirable quality of improved Tef varieties suitable for high and optimum potential farming systems. Eight recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross of DZ-01-353 x kaymurri plus two checks were laid out in a randomized complete block design using four replications in multi-environments for two years (2013 and 2014) to see the effect of genotypes, environments and GEI. ANOVA from additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) for grain yield revealed highly significant (p<0.01) effect for genotypes, environments, and genotype by environment interaction (GEI. The effect of environment, genotypes and genotype by environment interaction accounted for 81.49, 3.98 and 14.15% of the total sum squares, respectively. A large sum of squares for environments indicated that the test environments were diverse with large differences among environmental means which causing most of the variation in grain yield. Therefore, results of combined data analysis across locations and over the years showed that variety DZ- Cr- 429 (RIL 125)/Negus/ performed better and stable across five locations over two years among tested genotypes. Thus, variety Negus was identified and released as best promising Tef variety for production in high and optimum potential tef growing areas in the country. This variety should be used in similar agro ecologies to increase grain yield productivity and ensure food security in the country.
