Abstract

Pigeonpea is a multipurpose legume crop thai provides food, fuelwood, and fodder for small-scale farmers in subsistence agriculture. Il also enhances soil fertility through its leaf drop. Liltle seems to be known about production levels in Nigeria, and there has not been a systematic attempt to'evaluate production practices, constraints, and utilization of the crop. Surveys were therefore conducted in Oct 1991. Nov/Dcc 1992, and Jan/Feb 1993 to identify pigeonpea production areas and practices, as well as uses of the crop, and changes needed for improving production
