Summary

A split-plot field experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of planting dates on the formation of nodules in a variety of cowpea (Paraguay 6). Results indicated that the principal factor influencing both nodulation and yield was day-length, the highest number of effective nodules being produced from the June planting.
