ICP 7035 Pigeon Pea: Yield, Maturity and Characteristics
ICP 7035 is a registered pigeon pea variety. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 2016 as NSIC 2016 PP 01. It takes about 142 days from sowing to harvest, with 1.28 tonnes per hectare on average in the trials.

What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.
