Officially named Chitedze Pigeonpea 3 (ICPV 182026), the variety is well suited to shorter rainy seasons and delivers high yields, helping farmers adapt to climate pressures while expanding market opportunities for both grain and vegetable pigeonpea. The variety was approved by the Malawi Department of Agricultural Research Services (DARS) following three seasons of multi-location trials across key agricultural zones across the country, including Chitedze, Chitala, Makoka, Baka, Bvumbwe, and Ngabu.
