Chickpea, Pigeonpea, And Groundnut

Of ThE grain legumes, chickpea, pigconpea, and groundnut are some of the most important crops in the scmiarid tropics. Groundnut has received considerable research attention in developed and developing countries but chickpea and pigeonpea have been neglected crops until recently. Even now they receive little attention. Therefore, information relating to the physiological aspects of growth and yield of these two crops is fragmentary. This paper reviews work on the growth, development, and yield of these three crops in relation to management and environmental factors
