The field experiments led byARS, Malepatan, were conducted during three consecutive fiscal years
2006107 to 2008/09 in three different locations; Agriculture Research Station (Hort.). Malepatan;
National Grain Legume Research Program, Rampur; and National Citrus Research Program,
Paripatle. The specific objective of the experiment wase to select and recommend high yielding
vegetable type cowpea variety for inner Tarai, river basin areas, and lower hill conditions of
Nepal. The trial was laid out in Randomize Complete Block Design with three replications in a// the
years and locations. Among the tested genotype 'IT 86F-2089-5, Green' produced the highest fresh
pod yield (7.73t ha1)fo/lowed by genotype '/T86F-2062-5, White' (7.62t ha1
), and the lowest fresh
pod obtained from check cultivar 'Surya' (4.940). Determinate in growth habit, short duration
(<90 days), absence of fiber even in ripening period. good cooking quality, and better pod yield
genotype 'IT86F-2089-5, green has been purposed to release by the name of 'Ma/epatan-1' in
2010.
