Forage potential of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp).

Abstract

Nine Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) genotypes were assessed for forage yield and quality features during 2005 and 2006 summer growing season at two locations (Samsun and Kavak) in Turkey. Experiments were established on May and arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in both years and locations. Although cowpea is not grown for forage purposes, their forage yield and quality are desirable in experiment conditions. Forage yield significantly (P
