Abstract:
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is an important drought tolerant legume cultivated in the semi-arid regions, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despites its important potential, the crop is neglected and underutilized in many countries including Benin. In order to develop efficient in-situ strategies conservation, a study was conducted to quantify pigeon pea landrace diversity and access its spatial distribution and traditional management by local communities in southern Benin. Therefore, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted in 20 producing villages in southern Benin. Altogether, 26 farme

Abstract:
Farmers value the diversity because of diverse environments both in production and consumption. On-farm morphological variation on pigeon peas (2n = 2x= 22 or 4x, 6x?) was studied at Kachorwa, Bara, Nepal to assess the household categories that have maintained diversity. Household diversity Index (HDI) of 10 different farmer categories was estimated based on Shanon-Weaver method. Eighteen quantitative and qualitative (quant-qualitative) traits were used for on-farm variation and HDI studies. On farm ANOVA was generated on eight quantitative traits. Highest diversity (HDI, 0.265) was maintained

Abstract:
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) is an important grain legume that provides highly nutritious food for human consumption and livestock feed and fixes considerable amounts of atmospheric nitrogen, improving soil fertility. It contains high amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats as well as fair levels of both macro and micronutrients. The objective of the current study was to examine the genetic diversity in seed nutritional composition of twelve pigeon pea landraces (that were generated through successive selfing of single plant selections to uniformity) to select promising lines for cultivar dev

Abstract:
For the people living in tropical and sub-tropical regions, Pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L) Millsp.] is a very essential pulse crop because of its high nutrition along with several important features such as feed and fodder for animal consumption, fuel for household work etc. Despite being a multipurpose and attractive crop, its productivity has remained up to 700-800kg ha-1. Along-with low productivity, Pigeon pea is also affected by a number of biotic stresses such as fusarium wilt, pod borer, pod fly. It is therefore, need of the hour to search for the genetic diversity present in the existin

AbstractPigeon pea is an important but unfortunately neglected grain legume crop in Benin. In this study, the phenotypic diversity in 84 landraces from Benin and four advanced varieties were evaluated at two locations during two consecutive rainy seasons. Twelve quantitative and ten qualitative variables were recorded. A wide range of variation was observed in qualitative traits as well as in quantitative variables. The overall Shannon–Weaver diversity index ranged from 0.41 (pod hairiness) to 1.51 (seed colour). Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among accessions for

Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) is an important grain legume grown mostly in the tropical regions of the world, Nigeria inclusive. The crop is still underutilised in Nigeria; the potentials of the crop in terms of yield traits and biochemical compositions, with ability of enhancing food security and preventing over-dependent on very expensive animal protein, is yet to be fully exploited. It was based on this premise that this study was designed.

Pigeon pea is one of the most important leguminous crop globally. However it is a neglected pulse crops in South Africa in terms of research and production. Most farmers grow local landraces with low yields and there is lack of diverse material. The objective of the study was to determine the presence of genetic diversity among the pigeon pea genotypes using quantitative and qualitative phenotypic traits.
