Abdulaziz Teha | Bedasso Urgessa | Oromia Megersa "Pre-extension Demonstration and Evaluation of Double Cropping Practice (Legume followed by Sorghum Crop) in Fedis District" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-2, April 2024, pp.427-431, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd64641.pdf

Climate-smart technology intervention in production and productivity enhancement of the agriculture sector for smallholder farmers’ livelihood improvement is an indispensable option. Taking this into consideration the double cropping practice research activity was undertaken with the objectives of evaluating the productivity and profitability of double cropping practice technology under farmers' conditions, building farmers’ knowledge and skill of different crop combination production and management practices, and strengthening linkages and collaboration among stakeholders. A total of fifteen trial and follower farmers were selected and organized as FRGs. Improved varieties of common bean (KATB-1 and Batu) and sorghum (Melkam and Local) were replicated on the plot of 10mx10m. The yield performance of the improved varieties (Batu, KATB-1, Melkam, and Local sorghum) were 13, 14.50, 35.50, and 29.00 qt/ha at Fedis Balina Arba kebele. Double cropping practices are preferred as they diversify the crop, higher yield, shorter crop cycles, better copping the dry spells, efficient use of land, reduce risks of striga, and reduce risk of bird infestation. Moreover, based on the obtained result, Batu, KATB-1, and Melkam combination is preferred by farmers since they can harvest twice within a single season. Therefore, it is better to be promoted and scale up in a wider area and reach a large number of farmers.
