Abstract

A fodder Cowpea variety COFC 8 (CO5 x N 331) was developed in order to meet the green fodder requirement in Tamil Nadu. The new variety is having a yield potential of 136 q ha-1 of green fodder in 65 days. It is semi spreading, erect in early stage of growth, later on trailing/creeping, indeterminate type with luxurious growth. The leaf stem ratio was 0.95 with higher crude protein, calcium and phosphorus contents and less crude fibre than the existing fodder Cowpea variety CO 5.
