Description Once designated as an ‘orphan crop’ to now
being crowned as a mainstream ‘commercial crop’,
pigeonpea has evolved over the decades as lifeline
for millions of resource poor farmers in the semi-arid
tropics, where it is cultivated for both subsistence
and commercial purpose.Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan
(L.)] is the sixth most important legume crop, grown
predominantly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions
of Asia, Africa and Latin America. India is considered
as the center of origin of pigeonpea (Van der Maesen,
1980) because of its natural genetic variability available
in the local germplasm and the presence of its wild
relatives in the country.
