| Description |
Extra-short-duration pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) genotypes generally yielded more than short-season legumes when sown at the normal time on rainfed medium-deep Alfisols. However, their growth and yield were more reduced by delayed sowings and varied more widely between seasons than those of the short-season legumes, especially cowpea and black gram. All the crops gave lower yields on shallow Alfisols than on medium-deep Alfisols and none was consistently superior. Partitioning of dry matter into grain yield was less affected by time of sowing, soil and season in extra-short-duration pigeonpea genotypes than in short-season legumes. Less sensitivity of biomass accumulation to various abiotic constraints is therefore a major objective in improving the adaptation of extra-short-duration pigeonpea genotypes.
