Commercialization of neglected and underutilized species is a reasonable pathway to food security, employment growth, reducing poverty. Pigeon pea one the crops with great economic value health benefits. Despite its potential, pigeon still minor crop. This study, therefore, examined level commercialization, influencing factors commercialization production constraints faced in Nigeria. The descr...

A study was carried out to evaluate nutrient intake and digestibility by West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep fed graded levels of dietary pigeon pea seed meal (PSM). Four diets designated A, B, C and D were formulated to contain 0, 10, 20, and 30% levels of PSM, respectively. Four WAD rams aged between 15 and 17 months and weighing between 16 and 19 kg were used to conduct digestibility study in a 4...

The effects of a superphosphate (SP) and a rock phosphate (RP), with equal total P contents, on the growth and mineral nutrition responses of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal cowpea, pigeon pea and groundnut were investigated in a pot experiment using an air-dry gamma ray-sterilized (1.5Mrad) Andisol subsoil. Adequate amounts of micronutrients were added to the pot soils as supplements. The plant...

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the productivity and extraction macronutrients by Urochloa brizantha cv. BRS Paiaguás (Syn. Brachiaria Paiaguás) single intercropped with pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan Mandarim), subjected four doses nitrogen applied in topdressing (0, 80, 160 240 kg ha-1). experiment carried out São Luís de Montes Belos, GO, soil classified as dystrophic red lato...

Grain legumes could serve as a low cost nitrogen (N) and energy source for animal production in the southern Great Plains (SGP). This study evaluated the yield and nutritive value of grains of tropical annual legumes novel to the SGP. Included were cultivars of pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] (cv. GA-2), guar [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] (cv. Kinman), cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (...

Soil erosion, runoff and related nutrient losses are a big risk for soil fertility in Cabo Verde drylands. In 2012, field trials were conducted in two agro-ecological zones to evaluate the effects of selected techniques of soil-water management combined with organic amendments (T1: compost/manure + soil surfactant; T2: compost/animal or green manure + pigeon-pea hedges + soil surfactant; T3: co...

Aim: To evaluate the effect of germination on total phenols, antioxidant capacity, trace elements, and thermal behavior seeds Pigeon peas (Cajanus cajan L.) Chacha Recline varieties common bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL.). Methodology: The evaluation phenols was done using Folin Ciocalteu’s spectrophotometric method; capacity through DPPH y ABTSº+ radicals;the macro microelements optical emission co...
