The Comparison Of Some Cowpea Populations According To Their Growth, Yield and Seed Quality

This research has been carried out in Canakkale-Turkey in order to determine the growth, yield and seed quality of 31 cowpea populations which were collected from Agean and Marmara Coastal Region. Research has been laid out in randomized block design with three replication. Emergence rate, days to flowering and harvest, pod length, pod weight, pod number, 100 seed weight, fresh pod yield (kg/da), seed yield (kg/da), standart germination tests, cold test and accelerated ageing have been determined. According to the test results, second population gave the highest seed yield 26.95 g/plant (84.20 kg/da). For fresh pod weight 30rd population has the highest yield with 277.84 g
