Narrative
'Bettergro Blackeye' has a tall, upright plant habit. Maturity is usually concurrent with that of 'Pinkeye Purple Hull'. The pods are usually borne in a scattered fashion at foliage level. Pod color is light green when immature, a cream yellow at green-shell maturity, and a light-straw color when dry. The green-shell maturity pods have a touch of reddish shading and reddish tips. A typical pod is slightly curved, 17 to 20 cm long, and contains 12 or 13 peas. The size, shape, and eye pattern of 'Bettergro Blackeye' peas are similar to those characteristic of the leading pinkeye-type cultivars Pinkeye Purple Hull and Coronet. The shape of the dry peas is intermediate between the ovoid/ovate and kidney shapes. Seed size is medium (15 g/100 dry peas; 36 g/100 fresh peas). The fresh peas are light yellow. The dry seed testa is rough and light tan in color. 'Bettergro Blackeye' has a level of resistance to the cowpea curculio similar to that of 'Carolina Cream', 'Carolina Crowder', and the breeding line Ala. 963.8. 'Bettergro Blackeye' has excellent yield potential. 'Bettergro Blackeye' is homozygous for the Rk gene that conditions resistance to root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). Observations of natural epiphytotics indicate that 'Bettergro Blackeye' is resistant to rust (Uromyces phaseoli (Pers.) Wint. var. vignae (Barcl.) Arth.) and powdery mildew (Erysiphe polygoni DC. ex St. Amans). 'Bettergro Blackeye' is susceptible to Blackeye cowpea mosaic virus.

Pedigree
Date released:
24 Jul 1991
Description:
'Bettergro Blackeye' was developed over a 12-year period using a backcross-pedigree breeding procedure that included two hybridizations and repeated single-plant selection. The initial cross involved Ala. 963.8, a line resistant to the cowpea curculio (Chalcodermus aeneus Boehman), and 'Magnolia Blackeye'. The second cross was a backcross of the F1 of the initial cross to the 'Magnolia Backeye' parent. 'Bettergo Blackeye' originated as a bulk of an F7 population grown in 1984
