Also called Cajanus cajan, pigeon peas enhance both protein content and soil structure. They are available in four varieties: tall, tree-like, dwarf, and smaller shrub forms.

Pigeon peas, a crucial legume crop, are now cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. They were initially domesticated in South Asia and are predominantly produced in Eastern Africa, Latin America, and India. Pigeon peas are rich in vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, calories, and amino acids.

They enhance soil fertility through symbiotic nitrogen fixation, offering valuable organic matter and minerals to farmers. Pigeon peas are used in various agricultural practices, including green manure, cover crops, and intercropping, among others.
