Author(s): Negasa Fufa*, Alem Jambo and Hunde Kidane
The experiment was conducted for two years in 2018 to 2019 cropping seasons to demonstrate and promote
hermetic bag storage for the management of maize weevil and to disseminate/scale-out possible knowledge of
maize storage. The experiment was replicated 3 × 5 in randomized complete block designs. Three farmers from
each selected kebele’s are used as replication 3 × 5 from five agroecology’s of Bako, Ambo, Hawassa, Jimma and
Bure. From each kebele’s in each agroecology’s nine household farmers were selected where a total of 270 samples
were collected. All the data the collected were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and difference among
means were separated by the least significant difference (LSD). The correlation between parameters were examined
using Pearson‘s correlation coefficient using PROC CORR pro.. View more»
