Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Mymensingh (24°75′N, 90°50′E) to investigate morphological structure of shoot and root, dry mass production and its partitioning to plant parts, and their relationship in four short duration pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) morphotypes. Results revealed that there were genetic variations in canopy structure of shoot and root. Of the morphotypes, ESD-36 (Extra short duration # 36) possesses more compact shoot canopy and larger taproot than in the others. Results of correlation study showed that seed yield could be increased by increasing shoot, root and total dry mass production in short duration pigeonpea.
