An assessment of raised bed sowing of pigeon pea was done in the vertisols of Narsinghpur district in Central Narmada Valley Agro-climatic Zone of Madhya Pradesh during the years 2014-15 and 2015-16. Due to the long spell of rains in the district the flat bed sown pigeon pea was not giving good results. As an alternative the raised bed sowing as assessed. Pigeon pea variety TJT 501 was taken for the study. The results were very encouraging. Under the flat bed sowing the crop yield was just 9.75 q/ha which improved to 15.23 q/ha under the raise bed sowing.
