Effects of pigeonpea plant population and row arrangement in sorghum/pigeonpea intercropping [PDF]
A sorghum/pigeonpea intercropping experiment carried out for 3 years on a deep Vertisol in India examined the response to five pigeonpea populations in a 150 cm bed and furrow system at three row arrangements per bed: (a) 1 row sorghum : 1 row pigeonpea : 1 row sorghum at 45 cm between rows (SPS); (b) 1 row sorghum : 2 rows pigeonpea : 1 row sorghum at

Pigeonpea was labeled as an orphan crop but is now a trendy and pacesetter, with ample genetic and genomic information becoming available in recent times. It is now possible to cross wild relatives not only from the Cajanus group placed in the secondary and tertiary gene pool but also the related genera placed in the quaternary gene pool.

Inheritance of Pigeonpea Sterility Mosaic Disease Resistance in Pigeonpea [PDF]
A comprehensive study was conducted using PPSMV resistant (BSMR 736) and susceptible (ICP 8863) genotypes to develop a segregating population and understand the inheritance of PPSMV resistance. The observed segregation was comparable to 13 (susceptible): 3 (resistant).

INSECT PESTS OF PIGEONPEA AND THEIR MANAGEMENT [PDF]
▪ Abstract Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is an important crop in semi-arid tropical and subtropical farming systems, providing high quality vegetable protein, animal feed, and firewood. Insect pests feeding on flowers, pods, and seeds are the most important biotic constraint affecting pigeonpea yields. This review summarizes the biology and ecology of the

Genomics-assisted breeding for pigeonpea improvement [PDF]
The review outlines advances in pigeonpea genomics, breeding and seed delivery systems to achieve yield gains at farmers' field. Pigeonpea is a nutritious and stress-tolerant grain legume crop of tropical and subtropical regions. Decades of breeding efforts in pigeonpea have resulted in development of a number of high-yielding cultivars.

Mapping Fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease resistance-associated genomic regions and haplotype variants in pigeonpea [PDF]
Background The occurrence of fusarium wilt (FW) and sterility mosaic disease (SMD) in conducive conditions cause significant yield losses in pigeonpea. FW hampers the yield of pigeonpea world-wide due to sudden wilting of plants.
