Extract

In earlier papers, it has been demonstrated that many features of the production system in the lowland tropics affect the growth and development of pigeon pea differentially depending on the prevailing conditions (Tayo 1982 a, b, c, 1983 a, b). It has also been noted that when plant size is reduced as a consequence of reduced soil moisture, slight variations in production input tend to have a more significant effect on crop performance (Tayo, 1983b).
