A High Plant Density and the Split Application of Chemical Fertilizer Increased the Grain and Protein Content of Cowpea (<i>Vigna unguiculata</i>) in Burkina Faso, West Africa

A High Plant Density and the Split Application of Chemical Fertilizer Increased the Grain and Protein Content of Cowpea (<i>Vigna unguiculata</i>) in Burkina Faso, West Africa

In West Africa, cowpea (<i>Vigna unguiculata</i>) is an important source of protein for many people. To meet the protein demands, the cowpea yields per unit area and its seed protein content must be increased. We evaluated the effects of the planting density and topdressing (fertilisatio...
