th the yield of dehulledsplits, which implies that hard grain genotypes of pigeon pea would produce lower yield(3,. Variability in dehulling efciency or yield of dehulled grain was signicantly affected by hardness of the grain and resistance to splitting in individual cotyledons (. In addition, several environmental factors may inuence the yield of dehulled splits from pulses. Variations in milling characteristics of pigeon pea, as inuenced by varietyand agroclimatic conditions, have been reported (. Location and maturation of pigeonpea, which inuence seed size, shape, and grain hardness, would directly affect the dhal Milling of Pulses 4 yield in small- and large-scaleprocessing operations. Pigeon peas grown on light soils have better dehulling and cooking qualities (. few millers also have preferences forseed color, favoring white pigeon pea for two reasons: () yield is better when comparedwith other pigeon peas, () splits with smaller degree of dehusking, but less visiblewhite spots on leftover husk, can be sold in the market at higher price than that obtained from colored seeds. 4.3 Effect of Varietal Differences on Dehulling Quality large variability has been reported in the dehulling quality of green gram, cowpea, chickpea, and pigeon pea cultivars, as determined by the tangential abrasive dehulling device (3,. Among white-husked ( kabuli ) varieties of chickpea, the yield of dehulled grains varied from 8 to 9%, whereas the yield ranged from 7 to 8% among brown-husked (desi) varieties of chickpea (Table . From the results of the studies in Table 3, it is apparent that large variability exists in the dehulling quality of different pulses and even among different varieties of the samepulse. However, such variability does not appear to have received much attention whenbreeding for high-yielding varieties, although dehulling quality of pigeon pea has been the subject of few studies in the past. Pigeon pea varieties generally exhibit fewer varia-
