3,000 years. Its center of origin is India (Vavilov 1928;&#13;
van der Maesen 1980), from where it traveled to&#13;
East Africa and, by means of the slave trade, to the&#13;
American continent. Pigeonpea is an ancient crop&#13;
as there is a mention of pigeonpea in Sanskrit and&#13;
Buddhist literature dating back to 400 BC to 300 AD&#13;
(Krishnamurthy 1991). Today, pigeonpea is widely&#13;
cultivated in all tropical and semi-tropical regions of&#13;
both the old and the new world.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Pigeonpea</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2011</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Springer</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Book Section</mods:genre></mods:mods>
