N2  - 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.
