Book Description
Excerpt from The Pigeon Pea (Cajanus Indicus): Its Culture and Utilization in Hawaii It is the hardiest legu'me of all I have tried at Haiku. It maintains itself for years, and no insects have seriously bothered it so far. It does not start well when planted in winter, but November plantings loiter along and grow vigorously at the coming of warm weather. Its chief drawback is its size. With special care and arrangements, plowing one-half acre a 'day, I have turned it under fairly well when four years old, using a disk plow and four large mules. In three months' time the plants had rotted so that it gave no trouble in replowing and fitting the land in good shape. The best com I ever grew followed these peas.

Book Description
"Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.), among legumes, has an important role in the diet of many people in the world. It is one of the oldest food crops. It is the sixth most important legume crop. Pigeon pea is rich in protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber, and a rich source of other bioactive components. Pigeon pea is a good source of dietary fiber and is low in fat, which helps in the maintenance of body weight and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Cytoplasmic male-sterility (CMS) refers to the condition in plants where they fail to produce functional pollen. In Chapter 1, the authors briefly discuss cytoplasmic-male sterility and its utilization in hybrid breeding in plants. Then they describe a historical overview of the discovery of male-sterility in pigeon pea. Next, a retrospective view on the major CMS systems developed and their use in commercial hybrid seed production in pigeon pea is presented. Finally, genomic approaches for stimulating pigeon pea hybrid breeding are briefly discussed. In Chapter 2, the authors focus on the pharmacological and medicinal properties of pigeon pea. Next, the chemical composition of pigeon pea, its nutritional value, phytochemical components, health benefits and its usefulness in formulating functional foods is examined. In the final and fourth chapter, the cultivation, uses and other important nutritional information about this important legume is explored"--

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pigeon Pea (Cajanus Indicus) Its Improvement, Culture and Utilization in Hawaii Since the establishment of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station in 1901, which marks the first systematized effort to investi gate scientifically the possibilities of diversified agriculture in Hawaii, more than 100 species and many hundreds of varieties of leguminous field crops have been grown for comparison at the central station in Honolulu, island of Oahu, and at the several substations on the other islands of the Territory of Hawaii. Among these crops the pigeon pea was first grown between the-years 1906 and 1908 (11, p. 21; 12) 3 The variety known at the station as No. 218 (fig. Although badly mixed in type, made an ex'ceptionally vigorous vege tatiye growth by the time it began to flower and to set pods, and an unusually heavy yield of seed when the pods matured as com pared with the numerous other legumes under test.
