Summary of farmers’ preference during stand evaluation of crop, at Kokate Mara Chare, Wolaita, in 2013 cropping season.

Treatment (T)	Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4	Total point	Rank
T9	—	—	—	1 (3^rd)	1	4^th
T10	—	2 (2^nd)	1 (3^rd)	—	3	3^rd
T12	3 (1^st)	—	3 (1^st)	2 (2^nd)	8	1^st
T13	2 (2^nd)	1 (3^rd)	2 (2^nd)	3 (1^st)	8	1^st
T14	1 (3^rd)	3 (1^st)	—	—	4	2^nd

T6 = 6 weeks (1 : 1(Cm : Eb)), T9 = 4 weeks (1 : 1 (Cm : Eb)), T10 = 4 weeks (2 : 1 (Cm : Eb)), T12 = 2 weeks (1 : 1 (Cm) : Eb)), T13 = 2 weeks (2 : 1 (Cm : Eb)), and T = 14 (1 : 1:1(Cm : Eb: FYM)), respectively. The numbers out and inside the brackets indicate the tally weight and farmers’ preference rank, respectively.
