abstract: ICRISAT scientists, working with Indian programme counterparts, developed
the world’s first cytoplasmic-nuclear male sterility (CMS)-based
commercial hybrid in a food legume, the pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.)
Millsp.]. The CMS, in combination with natural outcrossing of the crop,
was used to develop viable hybrid breeding technology. Hybrid ICPH
2671 recorded 47% superiority for grain yield over the control variety
‘Maruti’ in multilocation on-station testing for 4 years. In the on-farm trials
conducted in five Indian states, mean yield of this hybrid (1396 kg/
ha) was 46.5% greater than that of the popular cv. ‘Maruti’ (953 kg/ha).
Hybrid ICPH 2671 also exhibited high levels of resistance to Fusarium
wilt and sterility mosaic diseases. The outstanding performance of this
hybrid has led to its release for cultivation in India by both a private
seed company (as ‘Pushkal’) and a public sector university (as ‘RV
ICPH 2671’). Recent developments in hybrid breeding technology and
high yield advantages realized in farmers’ fields have given hope for a
breakthrough in pigeonpea productivity.
