Note:
Cajanus albicans
is recognized as a species resistant to sterility mosaic disease (SMD), pod borer and pod fly, tolerant to drought, and having high pod set and seeds with high protein content; for this study, five Indian accessions were evaluated, and they showed variation in number of seeds per pod, pod width, and also late flowering; it produced the widest pods compare to other wild species, but not as many seeds; this study suggested that this species due to large leaves (high biomass) and pod width is a candidate as forage
