4. Adaa (Ude, Denkaka), Gimbichu ( 1Kebele) = 30 Farmers Shalla ( ), Adulala ( ) = 30 Farmers Mandura (3 Kebeles) = 30 Farmers Diagnosis Activity Cluster

5. Work plan: Diagnosis Activity cluster – Adaa and Gimbichu Actions: 1. Procurement of inputs (seeds, fertilizer, inoculant required)  Calculate amount of each needed/trial location (farmer plot) and then for 50 formers plot  Total Trial locations (Farmers Plots) = 30 [2 Woreda (10 farmers / 3 Kebele)]  Variety = Arerti  Treatment 4 (-P -I, -P +I, +P -I, +P +I) but NPS/DAP  P rate= 10kg P/ha (25 Kg DAP/ha) 2. Selection of trials locations = 30 Farmers [2 Woreda (10 farmers / 3 Kebele)] 3. Engagement of farmers for establishment of trials 4. Collecting of associated observations (soil samples, weather data etc.) 5. Planting, managing, and harvesting the trials 6. Data collection 7. Reporting 8. Budget 9. MoU
