Chickpeas
Common Names: Chickpea, chickpea, Egyptian bean, gram pea, Bengal gram. Botanical: Cicer arietinum Family: Legumes
Uses And Benefits: Though mainly cultivated for its edible seeds, Cajanus cajan can be considered a multipurpose species. Pigeon pea stems are a good fuel source, valued for pigeon pea's fast-growing habit, though their energy value is half that of charcoal. Stems and branches of pigeon pea are also used for basketry. Among other uses of pigeon pea, trials have shown a potential use as a raw material for paper pulp. Pigeon pea also contributes to the environment through its use in alley cropping and as a windbreak, cover crop, shade plant and green manure.
It uses in animal feeding. The leaves and pods are valuable and palatable protein-rich fodder. Leaves are sometimes used to replace alfalfa in ruminant diets where alfalfa cannot be grown. Seed processing by-products, and sometimes the whole seeds, are used as livestock feed. The seeds can be fed to poultry and, in Hawaii, mixtures of pigeon pea with maize grain were successful. Bees actively feed on pigeon pea and produce honey with a distinctive color (greenish) in the comb. Pigeon pea is also a good host for lac insects and silkworms. Plant breeders have bred varieties adapted to drier conditions, more resistant to disease and suited to different production systems and cropping cycles.
