The name Milkesa was given to Large-red seed Food Type Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) variety with the pedigree of DAB-523. The objective of this study was to register stable high yielding and disease resistant/tolerant common bean variety for midlands areas of Bale, East bale and other similar agro-ecologies in the country. Total of sixteen Large-red Seed Common Bean genotypes including the standard check “Melka dima and Red kidney” were evaluated across two locations (Goro and Ginner) for three years (2015 to 2017). One promising genotype, “DAB-523” were selected and promoted to variety verification trail with the standard check during the 2020/21 cropping season. The national variety release technical committee evaluated the candidate varieties both at Goro and Ginner. Milkesa is characterized by large-seeded with red grain color and gave high seed yield (1626kg ha-1) and stable performance across years and locations. It has about 10.03% yield advantage over the best standard check variety, “Melka dima”. The variety is also resistant/ Tolerant level of reactions to Alternaria Leaf Spot, Common Bacteria Blight and Rust. Milkesa is released for the Midland Areas of Bale, East Bale, and similar agro-ecologies. Therefore, farmers could be cultivated Milkesa for increasing productivity of the crop with its full recommended packages.
