摘要
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.
