How much is the yield of cowpea per mu?

Cowpea yield per mu

There are many varieties of cowpeas. The annual yield per mu varies greatly between different regions and varieties, but generally speaking it is around 2,000-3,000 kilograms. For example, the yield of E Cowpea 12 and Gui Cowpea No. 1 will be slightly lower.

Profits from Cowpea Planting

The cost of seeds, labor, fertilizer, etc. for growing cowpea is about 5,000 yuan. The current market price of cowpea is about three yuan per catty. If the yield per mu can reach 5,000 catties, the profit per mu can reach 9,000-10,000 yuan.

The prospects for cowpea cultivation are still very good. With the continuous innovation of planting technology, the output has been increasing, and the price has also tended to rise. As long as it is planted properly, the profit obtained will not be small.

High-yield planting technology of cowpea

1. Seed selection

When planting cowpea, it is necessary to select varieties according to the local climate environment. Generally, it is necessary to choose climbing varieties with good disease resistance and strong adaptability. Hongte Zao 30 is recommended.

2. Seedling cultivation

If cowpea seedlings are raised and transplanted, the yield will be higher than direct seeding. The seedlings should be hardened at low temperatures before transplanting. In the later stage, the soil should be kept slightly moist and no topdressing should be applied.

3. Planting

The cowpea seedlings can be transplanted in about 30-35 days. The distance between the transplanting holes should be controlled at about 25 cm. After completion, water the transplanting holes in time and finally cover them with soil to seal them tightly.
