Description

Cowpeas grow on a wide range of soils. The soil should be well drained. Being a leguminous crop it does not require much manure. The seeds can be sown directly, no need of transplanting. The spacing should be 40-60 cms between rows and 15-20 cms between plants. Cowpeas is more tolerant to heavy rainfall than other pulses but suffers from water stagnation hence ensuring that it is avoided.
They do not require much water. Light irrigation is advisable. The variety in this packet is the bush type. Staking by means of a wooden stick may be required to keep the plant upright.
Cowpeas can be grown in pots too. In a 9-12″ pot you can sow 2-3 seeds and keep in semi-shade till germination. Gradually expose to sunlight over a period of one week and then always keep in sunlight.
The pods are ready for harvesting after 55-60 days of sowing. They should be picked up when they are tender and half grown. The pods develop very quickly and if not picked up at the right stage, they tend to become puffy. The picking has to be done frequently.
