title: World Distribution of Pigeonpea
creator: Maesen, L J G V D
subject: Pigeonpea
description: Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is an important grain legume in the semi-arid tropics. Apart from India, where the largest crop areas occur, and some other producing countries, statistics are either unavailable or tend to underestimate the importance of pigeonpea. The plants are often intercropped, or grown as hedges or single plants near houses where they contribute to the protein diet. This bulletin describes the distribution of pigeonpea as revealed by herbarium data and presents maps of the localities where pigeonpea is found. The information is intended for plant collectors, other scientists, and decision makers. Some pertinent information on cultivation methods and production has been included. The 1982 status of germplasm available from the areas of occurrence has been summarized.
