Featuring: Pigeon Peas

 

           

 

Great qualities

  • Very drought tolerant

  • Survives in marginal soil: reserve better land for maize etc

  • The perennial type can crop for 3–5 years

  • Food: leaves, young shoots, green vegetable peas, dried peas, flour

  • Improves soil fertility ('green manure')

  • Stems can be used as firewood, fencing or thatching material

Wanted: Pigeon Pea seeds!

  • Unfortunately, despite stories and articles about this crop, finding a seed supplier isn't easy. They are there, we just don't know who they are or where they are.

  • Do you have, or do you know someone who can supply Pigeon Pea seeds for use (or trials) in Zimbabwe. Please get in contact:  projects@prozimbabwe.com.
