Performance of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) genotypes under field conditions
Abstract
Cowpea varieties IT-97K 1042-8, IT-97k-499-4, IT-95k-1156-3, IT-97K-4979-2, S-A Dandy and Elite were raised at NIAB and ARRI, Faisalabad selected for plant height (46-72cm) days taken to 95 % flowering and for diseases resistance (1-2 rating). Infestation was maximum on IT-97K-461-4, 1068-7, IT-97K 1042-8 and IT-98k-558-1 and were graded as susceptible. Maximum grain yield was recorded in Elite (550 Kg/ha) and lowest grain yield was observed in IT-95K-1156-3 (332.3 Kg/ha). Yield and yield contributing characters of twenty four entries tested revealed that they differ significantly from each other.
