Cowpeas and Mungbeans

 



TEXAS PINKEYE PURPLE HULL COWPEA - An erect bush-type southern pea. It will produce equal or greater yield than other pinkeye varieties because it can be planted in narrow rows or in a twin-row planting pattern. Processors consider the Texas Pinkeye to have excellent canning and freezing qualities. Texas Pinkeye has an average tolerance to diseases and insects, but has exhibited resistance or immunity to various strains of blackeye cowpea mosaic virus and root knot incited by Meloidogyne incognita race. Texas Pinkeye shows equal or superior performance to other pinkeye varieties in several locations in Texas and throughout the southeastern U.S., but does especially well in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. This variety is protected under PVP title V.

TEXSPROUT MUNGBEAN - displays an erect growth habit with a determinate growth pattern and green hypocotyls. Flowers are yellowish-green. Immature pods, including ventral suture, are light green. The semiflat mature pods are black with pendant attachment. Pod pubescence is intermediate between glabrous and heavy pubescent. Seeds are shiny green and oval with a concave hilum. TexSprout possesses moderate resistance to powdery mildew, cercospora leaf spot, pod boer, and is highly resistant to both shattering and lodging. TexSprout is earlier flowering, earlier maturing, and generally higher yielding than Berken or Lincoln. TexSprout possesses superior sprouting characteristics; i.e., thick, long, very white hypocotyls, with sprout weight to seed weight ratio of 9:1.
