Abstract
Pigeonpea is the most important rainy season pulse crop, considering it's extensive use and nutritional value in the vegetarian diet of the majority (approximately 70%) of the population in India. However, the per capita availability of pigeonpea has steadily declined due to the limited increase in the total production of crop unable to keep pace with the growing population (about 2% per annum). The production area of 2.48 million ha in 1972-73 increased to 3.57 million ha in 1990-91, but the total production increased from 2.48 million tones to 2.63 million tones only during the same period.....
