Abstract

Although it has high potential crop productivity, poor internal drainage and water logging during the wet season made the vertisol difficult for crop production including haricot bean in the study area. Cognizant of this fact, this study aimed to demonstrate and evaluate the yield and yield related performance and economic feasibility of haricot bean production in vertisoil using drainage technology in the study area. Thus, a comparative demonstration and assessment local farmers vertisol management practices and 40*80 drainage technology has been done on selected eight farmers found in Abeshge district for two consecutive years. The required data for the study was collected through a participatory open-ended interview guide and focus group discussion (FGD) of representative farmers in the study area. Moreover, the economic feasibility of the technology was analyzed using partial budget analysis. The finding of the study shows that the average yield advantage of 40*80 vertisol drainage management practice over local farmers practice was 45% and 3% in the year 2021 and 2022 respectively. Moreover, farmers preference to the explicitly show that 40*80 drainage technology is more productive than the local practice. The economic feasibility assessment of the technology also depicted that the demonstrated 40*80 drainage technology is lucrative and profitable with MRR of 1670%. Thereby it’s recommended for further scaling up in similar agro-ecologies.
