Abstract
| - Summary. Pigeon pea exhibits a high degree of potential outcrossing. It is suggested that this outcrossing potential should be utilized in the formation of random mating composites. These composites will serve as the dynamic reservoir of variability and can also be used as base populations for studies in natural selection, mass selection and recurrent selection. For developing countries, where breeding facilities are limited, a simpler breeding scheme based on the above composites has been proposed.
