| Description |
Twelve dwarf pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) stocks from ICRISAT were characterized according to phenology and agronomic traits. Variation among the cultivars was highly significant for all the traits studied. Plant spread, number of primary branches, length of fruiting branches, pods/cluster and pods/plant were positively associated with plant height and yield. All the 12 cultivars had lower yields than standard tall varieties. Dominance relationships suggested the presence of non-allelic genes for dwarfism in 7 of the stocks., 11 ref., Twelve dwarf pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) stocks from ICRISAT were characterized according to phenology and agronomic traits.
