ABSTRACT

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) (2n = 22) is a tropical herbaceous annual legume that belongs to the family fabaceae. Several authors reported different areas as its centre of origin. Cowpea is said to have originated from West Africa due to the presence of its wild forms (Aliko et al., 2013) from where it spread to other countries of the world (Timka et al., 2007). Today, cowpea is widely cultivated in West and Central Africa.
