        <dc:description>Evaluation study is essential to ascertain performance and adaptation of improved genotypes across new environment.&#13;
Field experiments were conducted at the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Research Farm, Minjibir, Kano State,&#13;
Nigeria over two years to assess the performance of twelve improved pigeonpea genotypes comprising of early (ICPL&#13;
84031, ICPL 85010 and ICPL 87), medium (ICP 7120, ICP 8863, ICPL 161, ICPL 85063, ICPL 87051 and ICPL 87119)&#13;
and late (ICP 7035, ICP 8094 and ICPL 9145) flowering groups introduced from International Crops Research Institute&#13;
for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patencheru, India. Effects due to genotype, year and genotype x year interactions&#13;
were significant (P=&lt;0.01) for most characters evaluated. Grain yield ranged from 723 kg ha-1&#13;
to 2,710 kg ha-1 with ICP&#13;
7120 having the highest grain yield followed by ICPL 87119 and then ICPL 84031genotype. The two highest grain&#13;
yielding genotypes (ICP 7120 and ICPL 87119) were medium flowering type, followed by ICPL 84031, an early&#13;
flowering genotype whose grain yield did not differ significantly from that of the two medium flowering genotypes. The&#13;
high yielding and early flowering genotype (ICPL 84031) is a candidate genotype recommended for promotion in short&#13;
rainfall environments of northern Nigeria. Significantly higher grain yields were obtained during second year with mean&#13;
yield of 3,118 kg ha-1 compared with 838 kg ha-1 recorded in first year, an indication that delayed planting in first year&#13;
affected yield and that genotypes responded differently to year and soil effects. Correlation analysis (pooled over two&#13;
seasons) revealed that number of primary branches plant-1 and pod weight were the most important traits influencing&#13;
grain yield in pigeonpea.</dc:description>
