      abstract = {Pigeon pea cultivars Kaki, 2B Bushy, PR 147 and Blanco,  and Lines 12, 84, and 92 were evaluated at Juana Diaz,  Puerto Rico. For their effect on weed suppression and  pepper and tomato yield in the following cropping systems.  Pigeon pea was grown from mid-July 1994 until 2 February  1995 when whole plant material above soil surface was mowed  and disked into the soil. Pepper and tomato seedlings were  transplanted after bedding 9 March 1995 and harvested  during June 1995. Tlic seven cultivars reduced weed  density, which ranged from 50 to 91% in the pepper  management system. Value of produec obtained from the  pigeon pea-pepper harvest was estimated at USSl9,945/ha, an  increase of S9,865/ha over that of no pigeon pea rotation.  In the tomato management system, weed suppression ranged  from 69% to 89% with the same pigeon pea cultivais. Total  value of produce from the pigeon pea-tomato harvest was  estimated at $14,626/ha. Pigeon pea allelopadty contributed  to weed suppression in both pepper and tomato management  systems. Value of produce per unit area per year can be  increased by the integration of pigeon pea in a rotation  scheme with pepper and tomato.},
