Subject Pigeonpea
 
Description Natural outcrossing in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is
primarily responsible for the deterioration of purity of
cultivars and genetic stocks. Several insects are
responsible for transferring pollen from one plant to
another within and across the fields. The major pollinating
insects identified are Apis mellifera, A. dorsata,
Megachile lanata, Ceratina binghami, and Xylocop spp.
The populations of these pollinating insects and local
environmental factors that assist in their movement
determine the extent of natural outcrossing at a particular
location. Natural outcrossing in pigeonpea has been
reported from India, Kenya, Australia, Hawaii (USA),
and Sri Lanka (Saxena et al. 1990, 1994).
