Pois cajan: Georgia-1
(Cajanus cajan)
The Pigeon pea probably originated in tropical Africa but is now popular in SE Asia, the Caribbean, east and west Africa and the tropics of the U.S. It is a shrubby, drought-tolerant, fast-growing legume with a long tap root and a mass of fibrous roots. It can grow up to 4 m. (13’ ) in height but is not tolerant to low temperatures or frost.
A day neutral, short duration pigeon pea developed by Dr. Sharad Phatak at the University of Georgia. Semi-determinate growth is more conducive for mechanical harvesting. Grown specifically for pod production rather than vegetative growth. 65-100 days to flowering. Average plant height is 1.6m (65 in).
