Narrative

Developed by ICRISAT and released in 2003 in two countries (Malawi and Tanzania) in eastern and southern Africa (ESA). Is a late-maturing pigeonpea cultivar released for its resistance to fusarium wilt, and has potential use in the cropping systems of the semi-arid ESA region and as a source of germplasm for pigeonpea improvement programs. A unique cultivar developed by selecting a single genotype from a landrace population that was collected from Kitui (eastern Kenya). Evaluation for resistance to fusarium wilt was conducted on-station in wilt-sick plots located in Kenya and Tanzania. At Kiboko Research Station (Kenya), the mean percent wilt (%W) was 19% and 21.0% in 1999 and 2001, respectively. Similarly, at Ilonga Research Station (Tanzania), the mean %W was 0% and 18% during 1999 and 2002, respectively. An indeterminate, compact, long-duration cultivar maturing in 170-230 d. The stem is green and attains a height of 2.5(+or-)0.6 m depending on prevailing temperatures. The branching type is compact. The flowers are yellow and are borne on short racemes. The pods are long, curved slightly, and contain 5-6 seeds. The seed is white (cream) and large (100 seed-weight = 18.0g). The yield potential is about 2.5 t/ha.

Comment:

although the genus Cajanus DC. was formerly (Berlin ICBN App. IIIA) treated as conserved over the rejected Cajan Adans., since the Vienna ICBN the two are treated as orthographic variants, with Cajanus Adans. 'Cajan the conserved spelling', such that Huth's binomial is no longer a tautonym (Shenzhen ICN Art. 23.4), his generic spelling being correctable under Shenzhen ICN Art. 61.4
