Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.], a new food legume for Turkey

Five exotic pigeonpea genotypes were evaluated for yield and yield components at Antalya location in the West-Mediterranean region of Turkey for two years in 2001 and 2002 'seasons. It was concluded that the high yielding genotype, ICPL 88039, could successfully be grown in the region under rainfed conditions as an alternative food legume.
