Abstract(s)
Cowpeas have been cultivated at least since the 8th century BC. [1; 2]. This grain legume (Vigna
unguiculata L. Walp.), one of Africa's natural food gifts to the world, is characterized by its high
nutritional value, ability to fix nitrogen and great tolerance to drought. The tolerance of this legume
to low fertility soils, high temperatures and scarce water regimes makes this one of the most
resistant crops to adverse edaphoclimatic conditions. It is certainly a very important culture in
southern European countries like Portugal.
