Narrative
An early maturing (65days) variety with erect growth habit, medium size broad leaves and long upright peduncles. It has medium size seeds (16g/100 seeds) with smooth white shiny testa with black hilum. Has 29.75% protein and 1.91% oil. Is resistant to pod shattering and lodging, and is resistant to major diseases like anthracnose, web blight, brown blotch, Cercospora leaf spots, Septoria leaf spot , bacterial blight, as well as cowpea yellow mosaic, blackeye cowpea mosaic, southern bean mosaic and cowpea aphid borne mosaic. Has wide adaptation with about 43% higher yield than that of local check varieties. However, for optimum yields of good quality seed/grain, is recommended for cultivation in the CS (major and minor seasons), S-DF (minor season), F-ST (minor season) and Guinea and Sudan savannas (early or mid season).
