Key Points

The study aims to evaluate how spacing affects seed yield, quality, and biomass in cowpea cultivation under rain-fed conditions.
Conducted during 2019-2021 in Central Gondar, Ethiopia.
Utilized experimental plots with varying spacing arrangements to assess seed yield and quality.
Measured aboveground biomass and soil loss across different crops, including cowpea.
Optimal spacing significantly improved seed yield and quality for cowpea compared to control plots, with yields reported as X t/ha.
Aboveground biomass increased with adequate spacing, indicating better growth conditions.
Soil loss was effectively controlled at various spacing, demonstrating the impact on crop sustainability.

Examines seed yield and quality of cowpea, highlighting agricultural practices for improved biomass.
