The test weight ranged from 73.85 to 120.74g. Significantly highest test weight (120.74g) was observed in KA-17-1 and lowest test weight (73.85g) in UPAS-120.The dahl recovery in whole grain in certain genotypes/varieties of pigeon pea ranged from 68.15 to 77.56%. Pigeon pea variety AMAR recorded maximum dhal recovery of 77.56% in whole grain followed by NDA-1, KA-17-1, KA-12-1, TYPE-21, ICPL-15, AZAD, UPAS-120, MANAK, and PUSA ARHAR-16. The minimum dahl recovery (68.15%) was obtained in PUSA ARHAR-16. Certain genotypes/varieties of pigeon pea showed variation in husk per-cent from 11.05 to 14.35%. The variety AMAR gave lowest mean value of husk than the other genotypes/varieties of pigeon pea. Broken dhal recovery ranged from 4.75 to 8.52% and highest percentage was obtained in case of MANAK, whereas, the genotype/variety AMAR recorded lowest value for broken dhal per-cent. The lowest per-cent loss was obtained in AMAR (6.64%) whereas highest percent loss was recorded in pigeon pea genotype/variety PUSA ARHAR-16 (9.62%). Results revealed that the dhal protein content varied significantly from 21.05-24.76 per-cent, methionine content varied from 0.643 to 1.034 mg/16gN and tryptophan content varied from 0.63 to 0.86 mg/16gN) in certain genotypes/varieties of pigeon pea. Significantly highest protein content (24.76%), methionine content (1.034mg/16gN) in dahl and tryptophan content (0.86mg/16gN) was obtained in AMAR, respectively of maximum dahl recovery, lowest husk percentage, protein and methionine content in genotype/variety AMAR was superior mostEnglishThesis
