Promising pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) genotypes in Ilocos Region, Philippines
2019
Bernabe, J.A.
Eight genotypes of pigeonpea were derived following selection methods from the germplasm collection of International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Hyderabad, India. These were brought later to the Philippines with legitimate supporting documents as Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) and others by the author. These genotypes are combination of determine and non-determinate growth habit. The purity was maintained through selections made by the author who is a faculty researcher of MMSU [Mariano Marcos State University]. Series of trials in accordance with the regulations of the National Seed Industry Council were done to evaluate and select promising pigeonpea genotypes that are high yielding, disease resistant and acceptable to farmers; get conclusive results as a basis for recommendation to the National Seed Industry Council as regional variety under specific conditions; and improve the yield and other characteristics of pigeonpea sulted to local conditions. The genotypes used include ICEAP 00040, ICEAP 00554, ICEAP 00557, ICEAP 00932, ICPL 87091, ICPL 7035, and ICPL 88039.
