The purpose of this project was to promote sustainable strategies to alleviate pigeonpea losses due to sterility mosaic disease (SMD) for attaining yield stability and increased productivity in the RNRS of the semi-arid cropping systems in the Indian subcontinent, for the benefit of marginal farmers who primarily cultivate pigeonpea under low-input rainfed conditions.
