description: Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.)  Millsp.) is the third most important pulse in  Myanmar. Aberrant weather and climatic  abnormalities significantly reduced the crop  productivity in present-day rain-fed  agriculture. Adoption of location-specific  short and medium duration varieties as well  as hybrids are needed to improve livelihood  of vulnerable small holders.  Monywashwedingar is a popular variety  which has been selected by using pedigree  method from naturally out-crossing local  landraces. In 2013, ICPH 2433 (2507 kgha-1)  showed 62.41% yield superiority over  standard check, Yezin-3. In 2014, ICPA  2039 x Line-25 (2239 kgha-1) exhibited 57%  yield superiority over ICPL 88039. These  findings showed the prospects in enhancing  the productivity of pigeonpea in Myanmar.
