Assessment of nutritional composition in prominent Cajanus cajan germplasm in India

The relatively low crop yields may be attributed to non availability of improved cultivars, poor crop husbandry practices and exposure to number of biotic and abiotic stresses in the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent necessity to develop high yielding varieties of pigeon pea. However, no systematic efforts were made so far to document the nutritional composition among the pigeon pea germplasm collection.
