Cowpeas (Iron & Clay)

(Vigna savi)
A cover crop for Southern growers.
Cowpeas are grown much like soybeans. They are frost sensitive, but fast growing to 2 1/2' in warm/hot weather. Sow in midspring once soil temperatures have warmed. Drill at 25-50 lb./acre or broadcast up to 120 lb./acre. Plant seed 1/2 to 1" deep. Long taproots go relatively deep contributing to their ability to withstand drought. Heavy nitrogen fixation (130 lb./acre) typical. High biomass production. Avg. 3,000 seeds/lb.
