Abstract: The agronomic evaluation of some IITA hybrids (BITA-3, PITA-1, PITA-4, and BITA-2) was conducted alongside some local land races and FHIA-21 at two locations in the semi-deciduous forest region of Ghana. Some farmers also evaluated the hybrids for their agronomic performance and the sensory qualities. A survey was conducted to sample the views of farmers on the hybrids. Results indicated that the hybrids were very tolerant to the black Sigatoka disease with high number of functional leaves at flowering and at harvest. The crop cycle was comparable to the False Horn plantains. BITA-3 however was early maturing (12 months) compared to 15 to 18 months crop cycles. Majority of farmers (94%) declared that the hybrids were superior to the landraces in terms of agronomic characters. They added that the hybrids remained green throughout with about 10 green leaves at harvest as against 0 to 4 for the landraces. This characteristic of the hybrids was an important feature because it provided shade for their young cocoa plants. 63.9% of respondents ranked FHIA 21 as the best in terms of yield, taste and commercial potential. BITA-3 was rated second but to be used for processing. 65% of the farmers declared that PITA hybrids were tasty and good for fufu. BITA-2 was outright rejected for its finger size and length though it was very roubust and disease-free. Some women indicated that the hybrids cooked faster and so required less time for cooking and also saved them fuel wood.
