Abstract
‘Texas Pinkeye Purple Hull’ (TPPH) cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] (Fig. 1) was released by the Texas Agricultural Expt. Station in 1990 as a replacement cultivar for ‘Pinkeye Purple Hull’, ‘Pinkeye Purple HullBVR’ (Kuhn et al., 1984), and ‘Coronet’ (Brantley, 1976). It was developed for the canning and freezing industry but also is suited for fresh market and home gardens. Generally, TPPH matures 10 days earlier and is higher yielding, especially at narrow row spacing, than ‘Pinkeye Purple Hull’ and ‘Pinkeye Purple Hull-BVR’, and it does not show virus symptoms typically exhibited by ‘Coronet’ under field conditions. Unlike ‘Pinkeye Purple Hull’, TPPH does not exhibit extreme chlorosis when grown on highly calcareous soils and will produce pods under these conditions. It resists lodging and pod shattering.
