Planting cowpeas is a breeze! Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

Land Preparation for Cowpea Seedlings:

1. Sun Exposure: Choose a location in your open field with full sunlight.
2. Raised Beds: Create raised beds that are 80-90 cm wide and 10-15 cm tall, leaving 50 cm of space between each bed.
3. Soil pH Adjustment: Test your soil and add lime or dolomite as needed to achieve the optimal pH level for cowpea growth.
4. Organic Matter: Enrich your beds by applying 50-100 kg/cent of organic manure.
5. Irrigation System: Set up a drip irrigation line and cover the beds with plastic mulch (1 meter width) after planting.

How to Plant Cowpea Seedlings?

1. Seedlings: Sow 15-20-day-old seedlings with 2-4 leaves directly into the prepared beds.
2. Spacing: Plant seeds in two rows spaced 60 cm apart. Within each row, maintain a distance of 50 cm between individual plants.

Aftercare:

• Watering: During dry weather, provide water using a sprayer at a rate of 1-1.5 liters per day for each plant.
• Pest & Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common cowpea problems like leaf miners, leaf eaters, pod borers, anthracnose, and virus diseases. Take appropriate control measures if necessary.

With proper care, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious cowpeas throughout the year. Order your cowpea seeds today and start growing your own healthy and versatile crop!
