Iron Clay Cowpeas

Iron Clay Cowpeas are the most productive heat-adapted legume used agronomically in the US. They thrive in hot, moist zones where corn flourishes, but require more heat for optimum growth. Cowpeas protect soil from erosion, smother weeds and produce 100-150 lb/N per acre. They help to improve soil texture. Cowpeas are an excellent N source ahead of fall planted crops and attract many beneficial insects that prey on pests.
