Development and characterization of biomass production functions in cowpea cultivars: I. Destructive method

Five cowpea cultivars were assessed to obtain biomass production functions using a destructive method. The study was carried out in the Carrizal valley in La Paz, Baja California Sur, México (23° 20' 47" LN and 110° 16' 14" LW). The experimental design was a completely randomized block with four replications. Data were analyzed by canonical multivariate methods for characterization, while correlation and multiple linear regression were carried out for generation of production functions of green (GMP) and dry matter (DMP), and variance analysis and means comparison (Tukey P=0.05) were performed for all variables. Most variables, except GMP, showed significant differences between cultivars (P
