%T Evaluation of Short-, Medium-, and Long-duration ICRISAT Pigeonpea Cultivars in Mpumalanga, South Africa
%X Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is not grown widely as a
field crop in South Africa. A few stands of long-duration,
unimproved pigeonpeas are usually grown singly or as a
hedge plant in home gardens or around sugarcane
(Saccharum officinarum) fields in several provinces such
as Kwazulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, and Northern and Eastern
Cape Provinces in South Africa. The green peas are used
as vegetable and the dry whole seeds for making soup
mixed with or without meat.
