Research Objective
This study was designed to contribute to enhancement of cowpea production through screening cowpea lines for different crop attributes including agronomic performance, pod and grain yield, and resistance/tolerance to cowpea scab.

Materials and methods
Eleven (11) cowpea lines comprising four improved local varieties and seven promising lines were evaluated.
Field evaluations for yield and growth attributes were carried out in the second rains of 2010, the two rain seasons of 2011 and in the first rain of 2012

Conclusions
Only two promising lines (ACC25 and ACC26) that out yielded SECOW 2W
Majority of the promising lines were either erect or semi-erect
Cowpea lines (SECOW 3B, SECOW 4W, SECOW 2W, ACC11, ACC12 and ACC2 that showed good resistance response
