Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

If seeds are untreated, soak them in water overnight to help speed up germination.
Optionally, you can treat seeds with a legume inoculant to enhance nitrogen fixation if planting for soil improvement purposes.

Sowing:

Plant seeds directly into well-prepared soil after the last frost date when the soil temperature reaches at least 18°C (65°F).
Space seeds 4-6 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart to allow for adequate growth and air circulation.

Germination:

Cowpeas typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Cowpeas are generally grown from direct seeding and do not require transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, especially during flowering and pod development.
Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
