Subject Pigeonpea
 
Description Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is one of t h e most important
grain legume components of subsistence farming systems
in t h e semi-arid tropics. Many fungi, viruses, nematodes,
bacteria, and mycoplasma-like 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 is provided on control measures that include the
use of resistant varieties, cultural practices, and chemicals.
Supporting literature on the major diseases is listed.
