Affrimash offers Cowpea Seeds | IT610-2E which is an improved variety of Cowpea.
This new variety of cowpea seeds IT610-2E is an improved variety that has been bred for resistance against a wide range of insect pests including Maruca vitrata.
The IT610-2E variety of cowpea resists insect pests, enables farmers to significantly reduce pesticide applications, and harvest bigger yields
IT610-2E was developed by scientists at the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria in collaboration with various partners under the coordination of the African Agricultural Technology Foundation
IT610-2E was bred for resistance to Maruca vitrata, a lepidopteran insect pest that causes up to 90 per cent yield loss in severe infestation cases.
This new variety is early maturing (70 – 75 days) with semi-erect growth habit and photoperiod insensitive and has medium-large white seeds. It is also resistant to Striga and Alectra, two notorious parasitic weeds.
Cowpea is a food and animal feed crop grown. The grains contain 25% protein and several vitamins and minerals. The plant tolerates drought, performs well in a wide variety of soils, and being a legume replenishes low fertility soils when the roots are left to decay.
Cowpea’s high protein content, its adaptability to different types of soil and intercropping systems, its resistance to drought, and its ability to improve soil fertility and prevent erosion make it an important economic crop in many developing regions. The sale of the stems and leaves as animal feed during the dry season also provides a vital income for farmers.
Cowpea is a warm-season crop well adapted to many areas of the humid tropics and temperate zones. It tolerates heat and dry conditions but is intolerant of frost. Germination is rapid at temperatures above 65°F; colder temperatures slow germination.
Cowpea performs well on a wide variety of soils and soil conditions but performs best on well-drained sandy loams or sandy soils where soil pH is in the range of 5.5 to 6.5.

Afrimash provides various shipping methods. These methods vary based on the class of the item being shipped, the weight, and/or the customer’s choice at checkout.
We currently offer three shipping options: Local Pickup shipping, Economy shipping, and Convenient shipping options.
Local Pickup is the shipping option that gives our customers affordable delivery fees with flexible control over the pickup of their orders.
This means that the customer can pick up his or her package from a local road transport park or an agreed pickup point close to his/her home or office address. We ensure swift and secure deliveries through commercial vehicles from third-party transporters and road transport agencies across Nigeria.
We also make sure the third-party transporters are supplied with the contact details of the customers for communication and a smooth delivery process.
For this type of delivery method, we always encourage our customers to get ready to pick up their items before the drivers get to the agreed pickup point or park.
Local pickup is suitable for customers who are ready to pick up their items within 24 hours after order confirmation. Local pickup is also suitable for customers who are close to central locations and motor parks as this gives them easy access to the pickup of their goods.
Economy Shipping is a convenient and affordable delivery option we operate and manage in partnership with GIG logistics services which allows our customers to pick up their order conveniently at any GIG Office across Nigeria.
Customers can also track their shipments online to know when to pick up their packages. This affords our customers comfortable and timely pick up of their packages at designated GIG Offices across Nigeria.

Economy Shipping is suitable for busy customers who may not have the time to pick up their packages immediately. However, we expect customers to pick up their packages within a reasonable time frame.
Economy Shipping is also suitable for moderately fragile items with breakable parts and other fitting parts that need proper packaging and care.
Our convenient shipping is provided in partnership with DHL Express, such that, customers get doorstep delivery of their packages.
As personalized delivery can enhance customer experience and increase brand loyalty when used as an integrated part of the customer’s purchasing journey, we have included this option to service customers who wish to have their ordered packages personally delivered anywhere in the world.
This option especially appeals to customers who wish to bypass the rigors of local pickups at car-parks or the use of pickup stations. It is suitable for non-weight and fragile items with smaller parts and fittings. Products shipped in this category are appropriately packaged, labeled, handled with extra care, and offer unique tracking solutions.
The Convenient shipping basically features 2 to 5 days delivery window period (working days) unless otherwise stated. This shipping option also offers customers the ease to track the status of their orders from dispatch to delivery with constantly updated reports on the DHL website.
