Subject Pigeonpea
 
Description Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is one of the most important grain
legume components of subsistence farming systems in the semi-arid
tropics. Many fungi, viruses, nematodes, bacteria, and mycoplasmalike
organisms attack pigeonpea, but only a few of these are important
constraints to pigeonpea production. This bulletin provides information
on the causal agents, distribution, economic importance, symptoms,
epidemiology, and management of major diseases of pigeonpea. The
text is supplemented with color photographs of disease symptoms and a
diagnostic key is included to facilitate identification. Information provided
on control measures includes the use of resistant varieties, cultural
practices and chemicals. Supporting literature on the major diseases
is listed.
