ABSTRACT

Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is an important pulse crop grown for its dhal, fuel, and fodder belonging to the family fabaceae. It is an important crop amongst pulses and ranked second after chickpea in India interms of area and production. It provides protein rich food, firewood and income for resource poor small farmers. It is a protein rich legume grown throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world between 30° N and 35° S latitudes. However, in India major area under pigeonpea is lying between 14° and 28° N latitudes, which occupies an area of about 3.81 m ha with a production of 3.02 mt and average productivity of 806 kg ha-1. Integrated nutrient management practices are essential in realizing the higher productivity of pigeonpea and reducing cost of production on sustainable basis.
