Abstract: To improve the use value of the pigeonpea leaves and exploit the pigeonpea resources reasonably, the total flavonoids of leaves were tested from 131 pigeonpea accessions at flowering stage, and the dynamics trends of total flavonoids of pigeonpea leaves in different harvesting time were determined. Results showed that the total flavonoids content in the pigeonpea leaves increased with time from 75 days after seeding to fluting period, the highest values were found in the fluting period. If taking the flavonoids as the index component for quality determination of pigeonpea leaves, the pigeonpea resources with high flavonoids content and the best harvesting time for pigeonpea leaves were obtained from our study. Therefore, the research offered reference for the right species, collecting time and quality evaluation of pigeonpea leaves.
