Abstract

This final research report documents the outcomes of the first phase of the DAF Pigeonpea Initiative, a project aimed at developing pigeonpea as a profitable and sustainable summer pulse crop for Queensland. The report highlights key achievements in crop improvement, agronomy, pest and weed management, crop physiology, and soil microbiology. It also outlines strategies to maximize yields, reduce production risks, and ensure high-quality grain for key markets. The findings provide a foundation for further research and development to establish pigeonpea as a viable option for Queensland's grain farming systems.
