| Description |
Sterility mosaic (SMD) is the most damaging disease of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in the Indian subcontinent. After seven decades of research, vital breakthroughs made on the identification, detection, and transmission of the causal agent of this major disease are enabling the development of broad-based durable resistant pigeonpea cultivars. These breakthroughs will contribute greatly to sustainable pigeonpea production and enhance the income and livelihood of poor farmers in the semiarid tropics of the Indian subcontinent. |
