Abstract

Studies to develop a high yielding cowpen variety coupled with resistance to cowpea mosaic, resulted in the isolation of a superior culture 1-26 from the segregants of the cross Ms 9804 XC 152. The new variety matures in 65-70 days, 15 days earlier than Co 4 and C 152. The grain is light cream in colour with a potential yield of 1712 Kg/ha and tolerant to cowpea mosaic virus, root rot and stem fly. The variety is suitable for both pure and mixture crop under rainfed cropping system in Tamil Nadu to replace Co 4 and C 152.
