1 Sheka Zone Anderacha Woreda Ethnobotany & Indigenous Knowledge Morphological:?Erect leaf habit; green/light green or variegated leaf blade color; green or light green petiole color; sap watery; red sap (some variants); tall pseudostem height.?Agronomic:?Kocho yield high; Kocho quality very good (Gajji-bosso, Baraadi-bosso, Aa'i-bosso, Yaa'i-bosso, Qe'i-bosso); Kocho color white; Etino/Bulla content high; growth rate fast; fermentation rate fast (Qe'i-bosso); sucker regeneration medium.?Use:?Processing type (Atina'o-k'aayo/male type).?Key Finding:?Multiple sub-varieties with different prefixes; Gajji-bosso has red or green with large red blotches on leaf blade. Haile et al. 2022
2 Ethiopia Various Production & Agronomy Regeneration:?100% regeneration frequency.?Early Growth:?Leaf number 4.15 (lowest), leaf width 13.88 cm, leaf length 32.83 cm, pseudostem circumference 9.05 cm.?Optimal:?Quartered corms from 3-year-old parent plants. Haile et al. 2025
3 Sheka Zone Anderacha Woreda Production & Agronomy Morphological:?Domesticated enset landrace.?Regeneration:?100% regeneration frequency across all corm treatments. Produced 51?501 shoots per corm depending on corm treatment.?Age Response:?One-year-old corms produced lowest number of shoots (42 shoots per corm) in initial age trial.?Corm Treatment Response:?Quartered corms showed highest shoot multiplication; whole corms produced fewer shoots.?Key Finding:?Domesticated landraces show significantly higher shoot regeneration capacity compared to wild enset; splitting corm enhances shoot induction efficiency.
