Abstract

The effect of soil type and rate of germination on cowpea varieties (Vigna unguiculata) were studied. Three cowpea varieties viz, A (IT90K – 277 – 2), B (IT93K – 452 – 35) C (IT97L – 499 – 1) are planted under different soil types (sand, clay and loamy) and length of each plant with its corresponding number of leaves are recorded. The result of the experiment revealed that cowpea plant variety A (IT90K – 277 – 2) will be best suited for planting in sandy soil and the least recommendation for planting this variety is clay soil. For cowpea variety B (IT93K – 452 – 35) the best suited soil for planting is loamy soil and the least been planting it under sandy soil for variety C (IT97K – 499 – 1) the best soil growing this kind of variety is in clay soil and the least recommendation is planting on sandy soil.
