2024-03-26 00:00:00 This mobile app was built to enhance access of seed producers, agricultural extension agents, and farmers, to information on the recommended practices for the production of Pod Borer-Resistant (PBR) cowpea seeds and grains. The Pod Borer-Resistant Cowpea (PBR Cowpea) was developed to provide inbuilt resistance to the legume pod borer which is popularly called maruca. The currently available PBR cowpea variety in Nigeria is called SAMPEA 20-T. PBR cowpea is beneficial to farmers because it is resistant to the legume pod borer (Maruca vitrata) which is a notable insect that negatively affects cowpea productivity. This cowpea variety helps farmers to reduce crop loss and achieve good yield on the cowpea farms.
