Shattering loss and loss due to pest attack significantly reduce the quantity of cowpea that can be harvested from the field. This research work investigated the possibility of early harvest of cowpea, hence the main objective is to study the effect of period of harvest on drying characteristics of an improved variety cowpea (IT 97K-56S-IS. Cowpea samples were harvested at period of harvest of 60, 64, 68 and 72days and subjected to drying at 55, 65, 75, 85°C. Triplicate samples of cowpea grains of 200g were used for each drying experiment. The drying process was monitored by weighing the samp...
