| Abstract: | The weight of ‘dhal’ (the edible part of the seed) from 100 whole seeds, and the hull, protein, fat, starch and soluble carbohydrate contents of 12 pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) cultivars and the F1 crosses were determined. The mean values for cultivars and the F1 crosses differed in 100-seed wt, hull content (%) and protein and starch contents. Whereas 100-seed wt showed a high positive correlation with the weight of dhal, its correlation was significantly negative with hull content (%) in cultivars and protein content in the F1 crosses. |
