Cowpea Planting Methods and Points

1. Accelerated Germination

Cowpeas themselves have a high germination rate, so there is generally no need to promote germination. If germination must be accelerated, the seeds can be soaked in water so that they can fully absorb the water.

Then, we fish it out, wash off the mucus on the surface, wrap it in clean wet gauze, and place it in an environment with a temperature of about 25-28. 1-2 days later it will germinate.

2, Sowing

Put the seeds of cowpea into the plowed earth pits, usually the interval of each pit is about 30-32 centimeters, and put in 3-4 seeds. Then cover it with 3 centimeters of soil, water it properly, and wait for it to grow leaves before setting up a frame to attract vines.

Points to note for cowpea management

Cowpea needs a lot of nutrients to grow, so you need to use fertile soil, and its root system is not tolerant to waterlogging. In addition to fertile soil, it is important to consider permeability so that you can deal with waterlogging in the soil.
