- Intervention effect Drought reduced cowpea leaf area, stomatal conductance and photosynthesis.
- Observation BRS Paraguaçu had greater growth and production than Pingo de Ouro-1-2 under all stress conditions.
- Intervention effect Foliar 0.5 mM salicylic acid increased SOD activity.
- Intervention effect Foliar 0.5 mM salicylic acid decreased CAT activity.
- Intervention effect Foliar 0.5 mM salicylic acid improved production of both genotypes.
- Intervention effect The authors conclude 0.5 mM salicylic acid mitigated cowpea drought stress.
- Observation BRS Paraguaçu was more drought tolerant.
