Cowpea (Purple-hull, Resina) and common bean (Dicta 105, Masaai Red) genotypes. Results were pooled across treatments when there were no significant cultivar by treatment interactions. Data presented as LS means (n = 12). Within a column, values labeled with the same letter do not differ significantly (p < 0.05).
