Location testing of 11 Pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan(L.) Millspaugh] entries was conducted with desirable grain and fodder quality traits. These lines were supplied by ICRISAT, and most of the lines had known desirable traits for quality fodder. The location testing trial conducted at Kalsi farm, Vikasnagar and farmer fields trial at Nainbagh and Thaeli (district Tehri) and Tharali (district Chamoli) of Uttarakhand in India. The design was included randomized controlled block design. Plant to plant distance (40 cm) and row to row(75cm) were maintained. Results indicated ICPL 88034 as promising variety at plain region of 650m above mean seal level , while only cultivar HPL24 withstood frost rest eleven cultivars failed at 1250m above mean seal level. With the presumption that ICPL 88034 could yield better grain and fodder the variety tested in farmer fields at higher location failed. Lesson drawn for extension professionals was only promising varieties are to be taken at farmers fields.
