The world’s first transgenic pigeonpea, known among Filipinos as "kadyos", has been developed by the India-based International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT).


It is now undergoing field trials, reported ICRISAT director general  William D. Dar, former Philippine Agriculture Secretary.


Dr. Dar said the GM pigeonpea is resistant to the destructive insect pest legume pod borer (Hilicoverpa armigera).
