Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a warm-season legume known for its ability to fix nitrogen and provide high-protein forage. It is widely used as a cover crop, forage, and wildlife food plot. Cowpeas are particularly beneficial for deer, turkey, and other wildlife, offering high-protein seeds and tender foliage. Cowpeas are also important for soil health by enriching the soil with nitrogen and improving its structure.

Benefits for Wildlife Habitat

High-protein seeds are an excellent food source for deer, turkey, and small game.
Fast-growing foliage provides cover and forage for wildlife during the summer months.
Nutrient-rich forage supports wildlife nutrition in late summer and fall.
Attracts pollinators, benefiting bees and other beneficial insects.
Fixes nitrogen, improving soil fertility for subsequent crops or plantings.

Planting Guidelines

  • Planting Times:

    • Spring to Early Summer (April–June): Cowpeas are warm-season crops, best planted after the last frost when the soil temperature is around 65°F or higher.
    • Mid-Summer: Can also be planted as a summer cover crop or food plot.
  • Seeding Depth:

    • 1 to 1.5 inches deep for proper germination and root development.
  • Seeding Rates:

    • Drilled: 20–30 lbs per acre for a more uniform and consistent stand.
    • Broadcast: 30–40 lbs per acre, followed by light dragging or cultipacking to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
  • Days to Maturity:

    • 60–90 days depending on the variety and growing conditions, with harvestable seeds appearing in late summer to fall.
  • Drought Tolerance:

    • Moderate to High – Cowpeas are drought-tolerant once established, thanks to their deep roots, but they perform best with consistent moisture during early growth stages.
  • Saturated Soil Tolerance:

    • Low to Moderate – Cowpeas do not tolerate waterlogged soils well and prefer well-drained soils.
  • Shade Tolerance:

    • Low – Performs best in full sun, as it requires high light for optimal growth and seed production.

Fertilization Guidelines for Cowpea

  • Soil pH: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils with a pH range of 6.0–7.0.
  • Nitrogen (N): As a legume, cowpeas fix their own nitrogen, so they generally require little or no additional nitrogen fertilizer. Excessive nitrogen can promote excessive vegetative growth at the expense of seed production.
  • Phosphorus (P): Apply 20–40 lbs P₂O₅ per acre for optimal root and seed development, especially if soil phosphorus levels are low.
  • Potassium (K): Apply 30–60 lbs K₂O per acre if soil potassium levels are deficient to support overall plant growth.

Fertilization Timing:

  • Apply phosphorus and potassium before planting based on soil test recommendations.
  • As a legume, cowpeas do not require heavy fertilization, and minimal nitrogen should be applied to prevent excessive growth.

Herbicide Use for Cowpea

  • Weed Management:

    • Weed control is important during the establishment phase, as weeds can outcompete young cowpeas. However, once established, cowpeas can tolerate moderate weed pressure.
  • Herbicide Options:

    • Pre-emergence: Use herbicides such as Prowl H2O (Pendimethalin) or Treflan (Trifluralin) for controlling grass and broadleaf weeds before planting.
    • Post-emergence: 2,4-D can be used to control broadleaf weeds after cowpeas are established.

Key Considerations:

  • Be cautious with herbicide use, especially during the early stages of growth, as cowpeas are sensitive to many chemicals.

Works great for training dogs to walk with you
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I am a dog sitter and I like these for walking new dogs that I'm not familiar with. The dogs walk better with this type of leash rather than a harness.

Recommend for my pit mix.
Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue
Wasn't sure how this leash was going to be for my dog. He is a pit/border collie mix and I usually have a harness on him. No worries, he was great! Let's me put it on, responds to corrections and is much easier to handle. Why didn't I buy this earlier? Highly recommend.

Does help, but needs constant adjusting during walk
I watch so many Cesar television shows on how to correct dog behavior and see him use a Yellow version on the shows. I see there is not a yellow version of this lead available on the site so that was irritating because I wanted to get what he uses exactly from his show. Anyway, thanks to another reviewer, I knew to buy the "large" size of this for my 40lb dog because she made the mistake of buying the regular smaller size this site defaults to choose. The "large" is not very long, only 2 ft but maybe the rope is thicker. The rope is a light stretchy material so it does not chafe your hand, but it still burns after a while of your dog pulling and you trying to keep it from pulling. I could not imagine trying to use this on a dog bigger than 40 pounds because it feels like it is at it's max strength when I am dealing with mine. My dog likes to eat anything and everything on the ground as we walk so I needed this for the option of the muzzle control feature of the rope. As others have said it acts like the gentle leader halter. Pros: The adjustable slide to "secure" the loop size over your dog's head, behind it's ears is easy to move up and down. The black metal ring works well when you use the second circle to loop over your dog's muzzle. Every time she tries to open her mouth to eat something on the ground she can't. CONS: The adjustable slide to "secure" the loop is too easy to move and therefore I have to constantly push it back down on my dog's head while walking. I am trying to find a clamp of some sort I can clip behind this slider to keep it in place once my dog starts moving. As soon as it begins to slide up from movement, causing the neck hoop opening to widen and she is back to pulling hard.
