035 A New Southernpea

Southernpea (cowpea), Vigna ungiculata L. Walp, is an important processing and fresh-market vegetable in the southern United States. While many of the newer varieties are early maturing, there is still a need for late-maturing, high-yielding varieties. Arkansas 92-552 fills this niche. It is a bush plant that produces silver pods in the upper portion of large plants that are free of basal runners. The seed are medium size with a bright pink eye. Maturity is 5 to 7 days later than `Coronet' under Arkansas conditions. The variety processes well and canned peas have been rated equal to `Coronet' by consumers panels. The yield potential is high and it has produced higher yield than `Coronet' in replicated trials in Arkansas. 92-552 is also resistant to rootknot nematode.

Crops Yield

Soybean rust (SBR), caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhiza, has been a recurring problem for soybean growers in the southern United States. In some cases, growers in this region have followed a fungicide spray program consisting of two fungicide applications to protect their crop from the disease. Our study was conducted to determine how various sequential fungicide spray programs perform under the relatively high SBR pressure found in Alabama. Results from this study suggest that there are significant differences in the relative effectiveness of a program based on products used and the sequence in which they are applied. Factors such as recent weather conditions, proximity to sources of SBR, cost of available products, and an estimate of a crops yield potential should be considered when choosing a fungicide program.
