Texas Pinkeye Purple Hull Cowpea is an erect bush-type southern pea. It will produce equal or greater yield than other pinkeye varieties because it can be planted in narrow rows or in a twin-row planting pattern. Processors consider the Texas Pinkeye to have excellent canning and freezing qualities. Texas Pinkeye has an average tolerance to diseases and insects, but has exhibited resistance or immunity to various strains of blackeye cowpea mosaic virus and root knot incited by Meloidogyne incognite race. Texas Pinkeye shows equal or superior performance to other pinkeye varieties in several locations in Texas and throughout the southeastern U.S., but does especially well in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
Texas Pinkeye is protected under PVP Title V.
