- Association Dry cowpea seed yield increased with plant density, especially when planted on both row sides.
- Intervention effect Lower plant numbers significantly increased yield components.
- Association Sowing date and density interacted significantly for yield and its components.
- Intervention effect May sowing at 28 plants per square meter on both sides of 70 cm rows gave the highest dry seed yield.
