The new hybrid breeding technology is capable of substantially increasing the productivity of pigeonpea and become a trigger for pulse revolution in the country. The development of CMS based hybrid-RVICPH 2671 has paved a new way for easy development and identification of high yielding hybrids. The book will encourage researchers in adoption of newer technologies to achieve food security through roductivity enhancement in Pigeonpea.
