Pigeon Pea: ICPL 88034 - Early Maturing
(Cajanus cajan)
Pigeon pea is a nitrogen-fixing, perennial shrub, growing to 4 m in height, that produces green or dry seed in seasonally dry climates. Pigeon peas are adaptable to many soil types and are used as a dry pea, green vegetable, fodder, fuelwood, green manure or cover crop.
This variety originates from ICRISAT in INDIA and its pedigree is ICPL 81 x ICPL 151. It's a day-neutral semi-determinate type. Notes say 61 days to flowering but it is consistently 110 days in southwest Florida. Possibly an intermediate variety. Taller, later flowering, and more vegetative growth than the Georgia varieties. Yellow flowers and brownish-orange seeds.
