Abstract
RECENTLY, early maturing varieties of pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan L. Millsp) are receiving considerable attention as these escape frost and can fit in a double cropping rotation under irrigated conditions. There is no definite information on the genetic control of maturity period in pigeon pea. This information is essential for organising a systematic breeding programme to develop varieties with desired maturity period. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to determine the mode of gene action involved and the genetic constitution of a set of parents, with regard to the character, flower initiation, which is a reliable index for the maturity period.
