Narrative
‘Giant’ is a southern root-knot nematode (Meloidgyne incognita race 3 and race 4) resistant forage cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research at Overton, TX. Giant is intended for use as a warm-season cover crop, a forage and hay crop and supplemental browse for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginuanus Zimm.). Giant is an indeterminate, forage type cowpea that produces biomass from May through September in NE Texas but also flowers 25 days earlier than ‘Iron & Clay’ cowpea, allowing seed production in NE Texas before the first average frost date. Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis confirmed the variety mix Iron & Clay as the parental source population for Giant. Pedigree is Iron/Clay.
