摘要: The experiment was conducted at Adami Tulu Research Center in 2004 with 37 selected lines of grain type cowpea (Vignia species) germ-plasm introduced from Melkassa Agricultural Center, Lowland Pulse Improvement Program for the advanced nursery trial. Dolichos lablab (Lablab purpureius both var. Highworth and Rongai) (Vignia ungiculata var. white worder training type) were included as a control herbage yield quality evaluation ranking. top ten accessions (IT82D 889, TUX 1948-01F, TVU 1142 4, IT85F 2687, 82D 504-4, IT84D-448, IT93K2046-2, IT87D 551-1, IITAUK91-12, 87D -1802,) lablab var. Rongai using visual observation data taken during growing season promoted further evaluation. Advanced carried out growth period, 2005 2006, randomized complete block design (RCBD) three replication plot size 3 × 2 m. Fresh weight yield, hay both years showed statistically significant difference among (p<0.005) periods. There percentage dry matter (DM%), organic (OM%), ash (ASH%) crude protein (CP%) (P<0.0001) highest value 88.94, 79.32, 12.09 22.3% shown by -1802 IT93K 2046-2, respectively. different responded to seasons differently based on rainfall duration their that needs categorization.   Key words: Adami Tulu, Dolichos lablab, yield.
