There is a huge gap between potential yield and the actual yield farmers are getting for chickpea and lentil in the region. The gap between actual and potential yield is the result of mainly lack of adoption of improved production packages. Farmers are still using low yielding local varieties of chickpea and lentil. In order to minimize this gap participatory variety selection with objectives of selecting high yielding and acceptable chickpea varieties adapted to the growth environment was conducted at Taba kebele of Damot Gale district, Jole Andegna kebele of Meskan district and Huletegna Choroko of Halaba district. For lentil it was conducted at Huletegna Choroko of Halaba district. At Taba, where the growth environment was more optimal, the Kabuli types, Habru and Chefe had shown excellent performance and were chosen by farmers as first and second choices. At Jole Andegna kebele, where the environment was sub-optimal, the desi type variety Mastewal was chosen by farmers for its high grain and straw yield, earliness and vigor. At Halaba district of Huletegna Choroko, varieties Habru and Ejere, kabuli types, were selected as first and second choice by participant farmers. The selected cultivar exceeded the local cultivar under production by 62% at Taba and by 89% at Jole Andegna. Based on the promising results of 2011 preliminary seed increase and pre-scaling up activities were conducted with farmers at two sites. Moreover, a consultative meeting with stakeholders on 27 February 2013 reached an agreement to carry out a full pre-scaling up activity for chickpea in three districts with the involvement of the Bureau of Agriculture as a major stakeholder. The PVS experiments have also shown that parts of the southern region are high potential areas for chickpea production which needs emphasis in terms of extending improved technology and research.
