PBR Cowpea App is an Android mobile application that provides recommended practices to farmers and Agricultural Extension workers and seed producers, on the production of Pod Borer-Resistant (PBR) Cowpea.

• 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 helps farmers to reduce crop loss and achieve good yield on the cowpea farms.

• The reduction of insecticide spraying to just two in a cropping season helps the farmers to reduce their cost of production and also minimize their exposure to chemicals being sprayed. This also helps to improve their health outcomes.

• Also, early maturity of PBR cowpea helps farmers to mitigate the impact of climate change and overcome the challenge of early cessation of rainfall.

• Moreover, the resistance of PBR cowpea to parasitic weeds such as striga and alectra helps farmers to achieve optimum crop productivity in their cowpea farms.

• All the above benefits mean that farmers can make good money from their cowpea production and improve their livelihoods."
