Product Information

The nett soil nitrogen fixation of a well-nodulated crop will depend on the initial soil nitrogen level, crop dry matter production, and grain yield, as well as the factors mentioned above. Fertiliser Cowpea possesses folate (Vitamin B9) which assists in lowering the chances of neural tube defects like anencephaly or spina bifida. The deficiency of folate leads to the birth defects such as malformations of limb and heart. Folate is also essential for the replication of DNA because the fetus cells could not grow without the presence of folate. This is an essential vitamin that is necessary for having a healthy pregnancy. The pregnant women should consume the prenatal vitamin so that they would consume the adequate amount of folate. Cowpea possesses Vitamin B9 by 356 µg which provides the eighty nine percentage of the daily recommended value. Soybeans should be sown at around 40to50kg/ha (depending on seed size) in areas with high rainfall. Wilson, Kenneth (1988). "Egg laying decisions by the bean weevil Callosobruchus maculatus".

The size and shape of the leaves vary greatly, making this an important feature for classifying and distinguishing cowpea varieties. [23] Another distinguishing feature of cowpeas is the long 20–50cm (8–20in) peduncles, which hold the flowers and seed pods. One peduncle can support four or more seed pods. [22] Flower colour varies through different shades of purple, pink, yellow, and white and blue. [21] Poswal, M. A. T.; Akpa, A. D. (1991).

Grain yields from these dual purpose cowpeas are very variable, but usually range between 0.4and1.0t/ha.These beneficial bacteria not only support digestive health but also have been shown to reduce inflammation, enhance immune function, and reduce cholesterol levels ( 11).

Potassium, copper, various antioxidants and folate assist to maintain the metabolism health in the people who intake the cowpeas daily. Copper acts as an essential part in functioning 50 different reactions of metabolic enzymes in the body. The reactions of enzymes are vital to maintain the smooth functioning of metabolism. 0.458 mg of copper is present in the cowpeas. Mississippi Silver,’ sometimes called ‘Mississippi Silverskin’ or ‘Mississippi Silver Crowder,’ has a shorter season, needing 60 to 90 days to reach maturity. It’s a bush variety, producing silvery, smooth-skinned pods, 6 to 7 inches long, filled with light green to cream-colored peas with flattened ends that dry to a rich brown. ‘Mississippi Silver’ is resistant to root-knot nematodes and fusarium wilt. Cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata), also known as Southern peas or field peas, are a versatile crop — so versatile, they could be considered the vegetable version of a Swiss army knife. They can produce nutritious greens, snap beans, shell beans, and even dry beans, which can be ground into flour for a gluten-free grain substitute. be canned or frozen. Dry mature seeds are also suitable for boiling and canning. Table 1. Nitrogen content of mature cowpea seedLike all legumes, these crops have very low soluble sugar levels which can prevent good fermentation and production of silage. To produce good quality silage from pure crops of these summer legumes, it is necessary to cut and wilt the crop to 30to35percentDM before harvesting for ensiling. Cutting and wilting 18to24hours before ensiling will allow the concentration of soluble sugars in the plants to increase and therefore ensure satisfactory fermentation of silage. Table 3. Average nutritive value of hay Hay Apart from their high value as forage crops, these legumes are included in crop rotations to build up soil nitrogen as well as to break weed and disease cycles. They are particularly useful for building up fertility in country that has been run down from overcropping. Provided crops are properly nodulated, cowpeas and lablab can fix 20to140kg residual nitrogen/ha into the soil. This can give a significant bonus to later cereal crops in the rotation. Unlike haymaking species such as lucerne, these forage legumes will not recover after being cut low.

Cowpea possess high amount of magnesium which is essential for the metabolism of glucose and carbohydrate. The research summarizes that the intake of the food rich in magnesium reduces the chances of the type 2 diabetes by 15% in approx. The clinical studies show that the intake of magnesium improves the insulin sensitivity. The researchers have shown that the low presence in the level of magnesium leads to the defect in the secretion of insulin and also reduces the sensitivity of insulin. It inhibits diabetes but does not cure it. As it possess the carbohydrate by 27%, it stimulates the level of glucose so the patients of chronic diabetes must consult with medical professional before consume it. In some situations, seed can be roughed into cereal stubble and double cropped effectively. However, crop establishment and production will be much more dependent on good seasonal conditions following sowing. Obatolu, V. A. (2003). "Growth pattern of infants fed with a mixture of extruded malted maize and cowpea". Nutrition. 19 (2): 174–178. doi: 10.1016/s0899-9007(02)01102-4. PMID 12591556. The cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata) is an annual herbaceous legume from the genus Vigna. Its tolerance for sandy soil and low rainfall have made it an important crop in the semiarid regions across Africa and Asia. It requires very few inputs, as the plant's root nodules are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen, making it a valuable crop for resource-poor farmers and well-suited to intercropping with other crops. The whole plant is used as forage for animals, with its use as cattle feed likely responsible for its name.

Compared to most other important crops, little is known about the domestication, dispersal, and cultivation history of the cowpea. [25] Although there is no archaeological evidence for early cowpea cultivation, the centre of diversity of the cultivated cowpea is West Africa, leading an early consensus that this is the likely centre of origin and place of early domestication. [26] New research using molecular markers has suggested that domestication may have instead occurred in East Africa and currently both theories carry equal weight.

PMID 22691139. When sowing cowpeas or lablab with forage sorghum or millet, sow three quarters of the recommended seeding rate for cowpeas or lablab with one half the recommended rate for forage sorghum or millet. This mixture also makes excellent hay.
