Sprout Production in California
PUBLICATION 8060 Sprout Production in California WAYNE L. SCHRADER, University of California Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor, San Diego County Sprouts have been used for food since before recorded history. Sprouts vary in texture and taste. Some are spicy (e.g., radish and onions), some are used in Asian foods (e.g., mung bean [Phaseolus aureus]), and others are delicate (e.g., alfalfa) and are UNIVERSITY OF used in salads and sandwiches to add texture. Vegetable sprouts grown for food are CALIFORNIA baby plants that are harvested just after germination. Various crop seeds may be Agriculture sprouted. The most common are adzuki, alfalfa, buckwheat, Brassica spp. (broccoli, and Natural Resources etc.), cabbage, clover, cress, garbanzo, green peas, lentils, mung bean, radish, rye, http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu sesame, wheat, and triticale. Production practices should provide appropriate ger- mination conditions, moisture, and temperatures that allow for the “harvesting” of the sprouts at their optimal eating quality. Production practices should also allow for efficient cleaning and packaging of sprouts. VARIETIES Mung bean seed are used to produce bean sprouts; some soybeans and adzuki beans are also used to produce bean sprouts. The preferred varieties are those that have smaller-sized seed. With small seed, the cotyledons and seed coats are less objec- tionable or are more easily removed from the finished product. The smallest-seeded varieties of mung bean are Oklahoma 12 and Oriental; larger-seeded types are Jumbo and Berken. Any small-seeded adzuki may be used for sprouts; a variety called Chinese Red Adzuki is sometimes substituted for adzuki bean even though it is not a true adzuki bean. -
Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata) Plant Guide

Walp. groundcover in orchards and intercropped with cash crops Plant Symbol = VIUN such as cotton. Contributed by: USDA NRCS Cape May Plant Materials Wildlife: Cowpea is eaten by deer as forage, and is Center, Cape May, NJ commonly used in food plots for deer. A variety of birds, including wild turkey, eat the seeds and the plant can be used by quail as cover. Some varieties of cowpea are used specifically for wildlife purposes (Ball et al., 2007). Ethnobotany: Cowpea has been a staple crop and important protein source for many cultures since the Roman Empire. It was the most commonly cultivated bean used for human consumption in the Old World (Allen and Allen, 1981). Roman writers such as Pliny referred to it as phaseolus. Thomas Jefferson is credited with first using the name cowpea. Today the crop is still widely popular, and good harvests are critical to ensure adequate levels of protein in the diets of populations in India and East Asia (Allen and Allen, 1981).

World Cowpea Conference 2010
World Cowpea Conference 2010 Theme: “Improving livelihoods in the cowpea value chain through advancement in science” 26 September – 1 October 2010 Framissima Palm Beach Hotel Saly, Senegal The 5th World Cowpea Research Conference was hosted by IITA and its partners in Dakar, Senegal from 27 September to 1 October 2010 to discuss threats to the survival and farm production of black eyed peas—one of Africa's oldest and most resilient and nutritious crops. From its humble origins in the drier regions of West Africa, where farmers have grown the black-eyed pea (also known as cowpea) for 5000 years, it was carried to the United States in the bellies of slave ships, and then introduced to the world through international trade. Today, black-eyed peas are a global commodity, grown in nearly every region of the world. Sub- Saharan Africa accounts for about 70 percent of total world production. “Black-eyed peas have been largely neglected despite their multiple benefits and the fact that developing new, high-yield varieties could boost farm incomes by as much as 50 percent while improving household nutrition.” --Hartmann, director general of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), which is co-hosting the World Cowpea Research Conference with the Government of Senegal, the Dry Grain Pulses Collaborative Research Support Program, and Purdue University. "Today we see scientists racing against time to rescue and conserve cowpea varieties that can help farmers deal with pests and diseases and adapt to changing environments.” Among the issues discussed: Rescuing cowpea from extinction: Progress on global efforts to rescue the cowpea gene pool. -

Chapter 5. Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata)
5. COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA) – 211 Chapter 5. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) This chapter deals with the biology of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). It contains information for use during the risk/safety regulatory assessment of genetically engineered varieties intended to be grown in the environment (biosafety). It includes elements of taxonomy, centres of origin and distribution, crop production and cultivation practices, morphological characters, reproductive biology, genetics and genome mapping, species/subspecies hybridisation and introgression, interactions with other organisms, human health considerations, common pests and pathogens, and biotechnological developments. This chapter was prepared by the OECD Working Group on the Harmonisation of Regulatory Oversight in Biotechnology, with Australia as the lead country. It was initially issued in December 2015. Updates have been made to the production data from FAOSTAT. SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF TRANSGENIC ORGANISMS IN THE ENVIRONMENT: OECD CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS, VOLUME 6 © OECD 2016 212 – 5. COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA) Introduction Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is grown in tropical Africa, Asia, North and South America mostly as a grain, but also as a vegetable and fodder crop. It is favoured because of its wide adaptation and tolerance to several stresses. It is an important food source and is estimated to be the major protein source for more than 200 million people in sub-Saharan Africa and is in the top ten fresh vegetables in the People’s Republic of China (hereafter “China”). In the English-speaking parts of Africa it is known as cowpea whereas in the Francophone regions of Africa, the name “niébé” is most often used. Local names for cowpea also include “seub” and “niao” in Senegal, “wake” or “bean” in Nigeria, and “luba hilu” in the Sudan. -

Emphasis in research and related activities is given to the problems and needs of smaliholders in the developing countries of the tropics. As a result of continuing increases in population and labour constrints, over 70% of these mainly subsistent and partially commercial smaliholders are operating small farm sizes of usually less than 2 hectares. These farms under decreasing periods of fallow are becoming increasingly subjected to serious soil deterioration and erosion under tropical rainstorms. The same degradation processes result from mechanized land, development and clearing techniques used in large scale farms in tropical Africa. -

In the years 2011 - 2012, thirteen cultivars and breeding lines of Chinese origin a d- zuki bean ( Phaseolus angularis W.H. White) were evaluated for their selected breeding characters and seed protein content in the climatic conditions of Central Europe. In the field experiment, the evaluation included seedlings emergence, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and plant healt h status. In the laboratory research, the assessments included seed germination as well as seed dry matter and total protein contents. In Western Poland climatic conditions, it was possible to produce seeds of adzuki bean. H owever, in cold and wet years, t hey did not set seeds. The tested materials differed in plant emergence, earliness, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and plant health status. T he produced seeds had germination capacity from 0 to 54 % and no sym p- toms of bean weevil ( Acantho scelides obtectus Say ) damage.
