- Intervention effect Water stress impaired cowpea plant growth.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased ion percentage.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased yield and its quality.
- Intervention effect Foliar chitosan increased plant growth under stressed and nonstressed conditions.
- Intervention effect Foliar chitosan increased yield and its quality under stressed and nonstressed conditions.
- Intervention effect Foliar chitosan increased physiological constituents in plant shoot under stressed and nonstressed conditions.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased thickness of leaf blade at midrib region.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased thickness of mesophyll tissue.
