| Abstract | Landraces of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) were collected from farmer's fields in its major cropping areas in Tanzania. Passport data, including descriptors, information on cultural practices and uses were recorded. Pigeonpea intercropping with maize, sorghum and cassava were found to be the dominating cropping systems, with characteristic differences between regions. In the northern part of the country pigeonpea has been developed into a relatively high yielding cash crop. Also in part of the Coastal Zone and Eastern Plain a market, particularly for green pods, have been developed. It is also in these areas near Dar es Salam that pigeonpea is most frequently found as a garden crop.The study showed that farmers mainly relay on self-saved seed, but seed is also quite often provided from other sources. About one third of the farmers selected sowing seed in the field at harvest. Seed storage was considered a great problem, and a variety of indigenous storage techniques were recorded. Chemical seed dressing was only common in the Northern Highlands, where the crop plays an important role as a cash crop. In all areas pigeonpea was consumed green as well as dry. Dry pigeonpea was most often consumed as whole grains, but dehulling was common especially in the Southern Plain. Most landraces identified were long-duration types, medium-duration types only being common in the Coastal Zone. The recorded plant and seed traits varied considerably, but the frequency of landraces with relatively large white or cream seeds and large pods was high in all regions. A number of accessions with potential resistance to fusarium wilt, bruchids and pod borer were identified. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
