- Abstract
Cowpea is a very important crop for small producers in the north and northeast of Brazil, constituting an important source of income for family farmers. The present work had as objective to evaluate the agronomic characteristics and the productive performance of six cultivars of cowpea in the Cariri Cearense region. The experiment was installed in the month of March of 2013, in the experimental field of the Federal University of Cariri (UFCA) - Agronomia campus in the city of Crato - Ce. Seeds of six varieties of cowpeas were collected from the region of Cariri Cearense. The varieties used were: Comercio Crato, Costelão, Canapu Ligeiro, Canapu Verdadeiro, Zé Matias and Beira Rio. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with six treatments and four replications. Seeding was done manually, using 75 seeds per variety in each block. The variables analyzed were: Germination test (GER), Plant height (ALT), Number of pods per plant (NVP), Weight of pods (PV), Length of pods (CV), Width of pods Of seeds per pod (NSV), weight of one hundred seeds (P100S), total number of seeds (NTS) and productivity (PROD). The cultivars Costelão and Canapu Ligeiro stood out for the agronomic characteristics and productivity, which was not observed with the Zé Matias and Beira Rio varieties, which presented worse performance.
