The experiment “Evaluation of performance of cowpea genotypes (Vigna unguiculata L.) for growth, yield & quality under Prayagraj agro-climatic condition” was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj during 2023-24 in order to standardize the best genotype of Cowpea. IET2023/COPBVAR-6 (G6) found to be the earliest (4.91). The Cowpea genotypes IET2023/COPBVAR-6 (G6) had noticed more yields per plant (277 g), and per ha (285 Q/ha). Under Allahabad agro climatic conditions. These variety also recorded desirable values for pod parameters like length of pod (34.20cm), weight of 10 pod (158 g), which are parameters deciding a better market acceptability. Thus, on the basis of growth characters, flowering behavior (36.87), yield and yield attributing characters, pod parameters and Cowpea genotypes IET2023/COPBVAR-6 (G6) and Cowpea genotypes IET2023/COPBVAR-6 (G6) were found to be promising. The highest profit and maximum benefit cost ratio (4.91) were observed in cowpea genotypes IET2023/COPBVAR-6 (G6).
