It has been reported that unsystematic changes in land use predisposes it to several environmental problems such as desertification, acidification, eutrophication, greenhouse effect that cause climate change and biodiversity loss (Reichstein, 2008).","PeriodicalId":185965,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Forestry and Horticulture","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130018934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental design was RCBD with three replications. Data were collected on eight quantitative morphological traits with the objectives of to test the performance of released linseed varieties on yield and yield related components at South Western parts of Ethiopia and to select well adapted varieties for the tested location. The across location analysis showed significant differences (p<0.05) among varieties and locations (p<0.05) for most of the parameters, including grain yield. However, the interactions; (L*V) and (L*V*Y) showed non-significant differences. Mean grain yield ranged from 1.55 t/ha to 2.06 t/ha. The three high yielding varieties Blistar (2.06 t/ha), Kulumsa-1 (2.05 t/ha) and Jeldu (1.94 t/ha) are recommended for Dedo, Gechi and Somodo, and similar areas in Jimma, Buno Bedele and Ilu-Ababora zones. Therefore, these varieties have to be promoted to the farmer.","PeriodicalId":185965,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Forestry and Horticulture","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124601667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
