abstract: Traditional pigeonpeas are tall and bushy. which means
their mechanized cultivation is difficult or impossible.,
Development of short-statured, extra-short-duration
pigeonpea lines such as, lCPL 83006,)CPL 83015,
ICPL 84023, and lCPL 850lO has created the opportunity
to make pigeonpea amenable to commercial,
mechanized field production.
Because the newly developed extra-shart-duration
lines are similar in height LO wheal. there is no problem
in adopting mechanica1 imercu!lure and insecticide
spraying oper;Hions using equipment designed for ceM
real crops. However. because of their thick and woody
stem, the feasibility of mechanical harvesting and
threshing of...
