Summary

Cowpea cvs Ife Brown and New Era were sown at a wide range of densities in 1976 and 1977 (early season) at Ibadan in the rainforest zone of Nigeria. In 1977 (late season), the experiment was modified and Ife Brown and Vita 5 were used. All the cultivars were indeterminate. Grain yields were higher at lower densities, especially in 1977 (late season). Numbers of leaves, branches and pods were also inversely related to density, but there were differences between varieties in flowering, branching and leaf and pod production.
