Significant genetic variability was found among cowpea genotypes, which may enhance breeding efforts.
High phenotypic variance for plant height and pods per cluster indicates these traits are crucial for yield.
Plant height, 100-seed weight, and pods per cluster showed a positive association with grain yield, highlighting their importance.
High heritability estimates for key traits suggest effective selection could enhance yield in cowpea breeding programs.
