Abstract: The protein contents in leaves of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) of 22 breeds (including introduced breeds and domestic breeds) and different individuals of the two breeds collected from 3 different harvest seasons on Shuitang test-spot of Yuanyang County in Yunnan Province were analyzed. The research results showed that a significant difference of protein contents occurred between different breeds, and more significant differences of protein contents occurred between different harvest seasons or different individuals. The protein contents of leaves in different breeds were 17.65%-22.43%. The protein contents of leaves from different harvest seasons were 14.78%-23.97%. Y57-5 and Y43 were suitable to spread planting as protein feed resources, and autumn is the best season for harvest. In order to avoid intercross and keep the fine properties, the voile bag would be covered on the selected fine individual plant before blooming.
