a–d in a column with different superscripts differ (); U. Gana = upper Gana; DFF = days to 50% flowering; DHF = days to 100% flowering; DFPS = days to first pod setting; DPF = days to pod filling; DFM = days to full maturity; Stand (H) = number of stands per m² at herbage harvest; Stand (G) = number of stands per m² at seed harvest; NS = nonsignificant; SE = standard error; LSD = least significant difference; CV = coefficient of variation; Sanabor had earlier days to 100% flowering, first pod setting and pod filling in Jewe Kebele. The planting spacing of 30 cm × 15 cm and 40 cm × 15 cm had shorter days to 100% flowering (68.50 days), first pod setting (64.50 days), and pod filling (94.50 days). Generally, the days to maturity were having similar trend with days to flowering that the earlier to flower and the earliest to maturity and vice versa. The present result agrees with the result observed by [13]. The early maturing varieties such as Sanabor have an advantage over the late maturing ones in environments where rain begins late and ends early [14].
