Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a warm-season legume known for its ability to fix nitrogen and provide high-protein forage. It is widely used as a cover crop, forage, and wildlife food plot. Cowpeas are particularly beneficial for deer, turkey, and other wildlife, offering high-protein seeds and tender foliage. Cowpeas are also important for soil health by enriching the soil with nitrogen and improving its structure.

Benefits for Wildlife Habitat

High-protein seeds are an excellent food source for deer, turkey, and small game.
Fast-growing foliage provides cover and forage for wildlife during the summer months.
Nutrient-rich forage supports wildlife nutrition in late summer and fall.
Attracts pollinators, benefiting bees and other beneficial insects.
Fixes nitrogen, improving soil fertility for subsequent crops or plantings.

Planting Guidelines

  • Planting Times:

    • Spring to Early Summer (April–June): Cowpeas are warm-season crops, best planted after the last frost when the soil temperature is around 65°F or higher.
    • Mid-Summer: Can also be planted as a summer cover crop or food plot.
  • Seeding Depth:

    • 1 to 1.5 inches deep for proper germination and root development.
  • Seeding Rates:

    • Drilled: 20–30 lbs per acre for a more uniform and consistent stand.
    • Broadcast: 30–40 lbs per acre, followed by light dragging or cultipacking to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
  • Days to Maturity:

    • 60–90 days depending on the variety and growing conditions, with harvestable seeds appearing in late summer to fall.
  • Drought Tolerance:

    • Moderate to High – Cowpeas are drought-tolerant once established, thanks to their deep roots, but they perform best with consistent moisture during early growth stages.
  • Saturated Soil Tolerance:

    • Low to Moderate – Cowpeas do not tolerate waterlogged soils well and prefer well-drained soils.
  • Shade Tolerance:

    • Low – Performs best in full sun, as it requires high light for optimal growth and seed production.

Fertilization Guidelines for Cowpea

  • Soil pH: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils with a pH range of 6.0–7.0.
  • Nitrogen (N): As a legume, cowpeas fix their own nitrogen, so they generally require little or no additional nitrogen fertilizer. Excessive nitrogen can promote excessive vegetative growth at the expense of seed production.
  • Phosphorus (P): Apply 20–40 lbs P₂O₅ per acre for optimal root and seed development, especially if soil phosphorus levels are low.
  • Potassium (K): Apply 30–60 lbs K₂O per acre if soil potassium levels are deficient to support overall plant growth.

Fertilization Timing:

  • Apply phosphorus and potassium before planting based on soil test recommendations.
  • As a legume, cowpeas do not require heavy fertilization, and minimal nitrogen should be applied to prevent excessive growth.

Herbicide Use for Cowpea

  • Weed Management:

    • Weed control is important during the establishment phase, as weeds can outcompete young cowpeas. However, once established, cowpeas can tolerate moderate weed pressure.
  • Herbicide Options:

    • Pre-emergence: Use herbicides such as Prowl H2O (Pendimethalin) or Treflan (Trifluralin) for controlling grass and broadleaf weeds before planting.
    • Post-emergence: 2,4-D can be used to control broadleaf weeds after cowpeas are established.

Key Considerations:

  • Be cautious with herbicide use, especially during the early stages of growth, as cowpeas are sensitive to many chemicals.

Good but a bit overpriced
Pattern Name: Half Ears (15-pack)
I like these as they are a good size and not as greasy as others. I have 4 dogs that get one each evening. It would be nice if they were a bit cheaper.

Apparently delicious to dogs!
Pattern Name: Half Ears (15-pack)
Bought these hoping they wouldn't be too large for my 10 lb. dog, and found that she loves them so much it doesn't matter that she can't finish one all at once. I think they are her favorite treat, and can last her days, so it is a great deal both for her, and for my wallet! (she also doesn't get them more than once every week or two!)

Chew that pig ear doggie
Pattern Name: Half Ears (15-pack)
These are halves of pig ears. My little dachshund doesn't need the entire ear. Half is much better size. And still we break the halves in half. She loves them. Helps clean her teeth while she is chewing and destressing. I would recommend to other dog owners.

So nice I ordered a second bag!
Pattern Name: Full Ears (25-pack)
I can’t say that ordering this brand has always been a success. I was ordering half ears. Then one bag came without an expiration date and they didn’t look so good. The next time I bought two of the smaller bags instead. Those ears seemed too small. Mostly OK though. Expiration date on the bag. But this last purchase of full ears looks really good. Expiration date on the package is 12/26. We are nearing the middle of May. So I ordered another bag. My piano teacher (weekly lesson) has two big, tough, but sweet dogs. They watch for me to come up the walk and wait at the door for their pig’s ears 🙂. Thanks! Update: second bag has September 2027 expiration date. Beautiful ears. Delivered next day and I don’t even have Prime. 🙂. Thanks!

Love this set!!!
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
I was trying to figure out which of the many different balls this company offers, and I was getting frustrated but then i was SOOOO happy to see they had multiple sets that had multiple of the different balls they offer!! I bought this set and the other set they offer, but this one was my favorite and I think my dogs too! The orange ball works great and bounces just high enough that it doesn’t clear our patio wall, but enough for him to go and jump up to retrieve. But the glow in the dark ball is his favorite! Both me and my pomsky were blown away how we brought the glow in the dark ball outside just as the sun was going down, and when we brought it back inside it was BRIGHT AND GLOWY!!! Even with the sun going down and not much light left!! He loves to play with it in the house after it’s all glowy from the sun. Sometimes we even glow it up under a light inside the house if it’s dark outside, and he will play with it outside in the dark haha he loves it!!! And I think it’s pretty cool too!! All of the balls this company overs are VERY durable! We realized early on that we cannot give our dog regular tennis balls cuz his favorite thing to do is tear the outside fabric off!! So we were trying to figure out what company has the best balls for dogs so they can’t sit there and try to pry them apart, and we found this company!! We have already bought from them about 3 times and all of their balls are durable and bounce how they say they will bounce!! They have the super bouncers and the glow in the dark one and the one with angles that will bounce in different directions and the ones you can throw REALLYY far! Overall, all the balls from this company are very durable, bounce really good, and keep my dog occupied without allowing him to sit there and tear it apart!!! Which i love cuz I do not like when he stops playing with us to sit there and try to take off the fabric, cuz then he could swallow it! So always buy the balls from this company!!! They are the best and most durable!!!! Also plenty soft for your dogs mouth so they can chew on it a bit and it won’t hurt their teeth/gums!
