Cajanus Cajan , Pigeon Pea - 100 Seeds Pack

Common Names: Pigeon Pea, Red Gram, Arhar, Toor Dal, Tur

Short Description:
Cajanus cajan, commonly known as Pigeon Pea or Arhar, is a nutritious legume grown for its protein-rich edible seeds. It is a hardy, drought-tolerant plant that produces abundant pods and also enriches the soil by fixing nitrogen. Young pods can be used as a vegetable, while mature seeds are widely used to prepare dal and other traditional dishes. It is an excellent choice for home gardens and sustainable farming.

Germination Tips:

• Sowing Depth: 2–3 cm (¾–1 inch)
• Temperature: 20–35°C (68–95°F)
• Germination Time: 7–14 days
• Light: Full sun (6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily)
• Soil: Well-drained loamy or sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5
• Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, then water moderately. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Tip: Sow seeds directly in the garden, as pigeon pea develops a deep taproot and does not transplant well. Space plants 60–90 cm (24–36 inches) apart to allow healthy growth and maximum pod production.
