Cowpea [Vigna ungiculata (L.) Walp] production is affected by numerous constraints such as insect pests, diseases (fungal, viral, and bacterial), poor soil fertility, metal toxicity, drought, and excessive rainfall. The high cost of input, especially pesticides, also contributes to the reduction of cowpea yield potential in sub-Saharan Africa. ‘ARTPEA-204B’ (Reg. no. CV-351, PI 702792; National code NGVU-22-38), also known as Modupe, was developed through a cross between ‘Ife Brown’ and a wild cowpea landrace and release by the Institute of Agricultural Research and Training, Obafemi Awolowo University, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Nigeria, in 2022. It was bred for early maturing, high grain and fodder yield, and reduced insecticidal spray for the southern agro-ecologies of Nigeria. ARTPEA-204B along with Ife Brown and other cowpea lines were evaluated under farmer's management conditions in an on-farm trial conducted in 30 communities in 15 local government areas of Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, and Oyo States in 2021 under farmers’ condition. ARTPEA-204B is early maturing (69–72 days), high-yielding fodder (4500 kg/ha) and grain (1.29 t/ha), photoperiod insensitive, reduce spray, and adaptable to all agro-ecologies in southern Nigeria.

注册“ARTPEA-204B”，一种适合尼日利亚南部农业生态的早熟豇豆品种，具有高饲料、高粮食产量和减少杀虫喷雾需求的特点

豇豆 [ Vigna ungiculata (L.) Walp] 的生产受到多种限制因素的影响，例如虫害、疾病（真菌、病毒和细菌）、土壤肥力差、金属毒性、干旱和过量降雨。投入成本高，特别是农药成本高，也导致撒哈拉以南非洲地区豇豆产量潜力的降低。“ARTPEA-204B”（注册号 CV-351，PI 702792；国家代码 NGVU-22-38）也称为 Modupe，是通过“Ife Brown”和野生豇豆地方品种杂交开发的，并由尼日利亚伊巴丹穆尔种植园奥巴费米阿沃洛沃大学农业研究与培训学院，2022 年。该品种的培育目的是为了早熟、提高谷物和饲料产量，并减少尼日利亚南部农业生态的杀虫喷雾。2021 年，在 Ondo、Ekiti、Osun 和 Oyo 州 15 个地方政府辖区的 30 个社区进行了一项农场试验，在农民管理条件下对 ARTPEA-204B 以及 Ife Brown 和其他豇豆品系进行了评估。ARTPEA-204B早熟（69-72天），高产饲料（4500公斤/公顷）和谷物（1.29吨/公顷），光周期不敏感，减少喷雾，适应尼日利亚南部的所有农业生态。
