Abstract

Mutation breeding undertaken to evolve a high yielding, short duration fodder cowpea variety resulted in the identification of a mutant FCP 2 which was isolated in M5 generation of Co 1 cowpea seeds irriadiated with 30 Kr gamma rays. The mutant has a green fodder, yield potential of 18,16 t/ha in 50 to 55 days which was 32,74% higher than that of Co 1. It is high in crude Protein content and dry matter digestibility. It was released as Co 5 fodder cowpea in 1986.
