Narrative
An early maturing variety (65 to 70 days) with a semi-erect growth habit and narrow leaves. Has purple pigmentation on the joints connecting the petiole with the main stem as well as on the standard and wing petals. It has red color and medium size seed (about 15g/ 100 seeds) with a smooth seed coat. Resistant to major diseases such as anthracnose, web blight, brown blotch, cercospora leaf spots, Septoria leaf spot, scab and bacterial blight, as well as cowpea yellow mosaic and cowpea aphid borne mosaic. Grain yield ranged from 1.1 t/ha to 2.4 t/ha which was about 200% higher than farmers varieties and about 44% higher than the best improved variety in the same maturity group.
