Walp.] on yield and yield components in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Biological and Environmental Sciences Journal for the Tropics, 11(2): 6-8https://uilspace.unilorin.edu.ng/handle/123456789/12087Eleven early maturing cowpea genotypes were obtained from IITA, Ibadan and were arranged in a complete randomised design in three replications in the Biological garden, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Ilorin in 2008 and 2009 cropping seasons. yield parameters such as number of pods per plant, length of pods per plant, number of seeds per pods, weight of pods per plant, 100 seed weight and yield per hectare were observed. Data collected were subjected to analysis of components. On average, IT 98k-131-2, IT 97k-499-35 and IT-95k-207-22 out performed the other varieties in the two cropping seasons. IT 98k-131-2 has the highest yield amongst cowpea varieties cultivated at Ilorin.enCowpeaVarietiesPerformanceYield componentArticle
