Response of pigeon pea cultivars to water stress

Year: 1993

Type: article

Abstract: Decrease in soil water potential during vegetative and flowering stages of two cultivars of pipeon pea (Cajanus cajari) caused higher decrease in relative water content in cv. ICPL-151 than in cv. H-77-216. Both cultivars showed partial recovery during rehydration. Cv. H-77-216 also accumulated more proline and carbohydrates during stress and showed better drought tolerance than cv. ICPL-151.
