The present investigation was undertaken with a view of identification of superior mid late genotypes of pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.). Millsp.] based on the evaluation of phenotypic and yield attributing traits. The various morphological characters viz., plant height, number of primary and secondary branches and number of leaves per plant were evaluated and mid late genotypes, AKTHR- 2001-18 and AKTHR-2001-01 were found superior over the checks, Asha and PKV-Tara. Similarly, AKTHR-2001-18 and AKTHR-2001-01 mid late genotypes contributed significant increase in yield attributing traits compared to checks which were further used in the crop improvement programme to enhance the productivity of pigeonpea.

The various morphological characters viz., plant height, number of primary and secondary branches and number of leaves per plant were evaluated and mid late genotypes, AKTHR- 2001-18 and AKTHR-2001-01 were found superior over the checks, Asha and PKV-Tara.
