'Quickpick Pinkeye' is a pinkeye purplehull type variety but its plant growing
habit is quite different. The plants are determinate, erect, compact (reach
about 20 inches), and non-vining. Because of its compactness, as well as its
early maturity, "Quickpick" is an appropriate name for this variety.

The pods are dark-purple and about seven to eight inches long containing nine
to eleven, kidney-shaped seeds with large, maroon colored eyes. Both pods and
peas tend to be slightly larger than other standard purplehull varieties.

'Quickpick Pinkeye' is resistant to Cowpea Blackeye Mosaic Virus and was bred
at the Louisiana Agricultural Experimental Station. Introduced in 1997, PVP
awarded in 2001.Cowpeas are part of a traditional Southern meal.
