Mutagenesis has been exploited to enhance genetic variability in cowpea (Vigna unquiculata L. Walp.); an important legume in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Mutation is regarded to be a shortcut breeding technique, which has produced new and high yielding varieties through heritable changes in genetic constitution of characters in some leguminous crops. Effects of 0.1% aqueous solution of colchicine for different periods of time, viz; -0, 2, 4 and 6 hours were tested on the quantitative and yield characters of a cowpea variety popularly known as ‘Oloyin’ in M1 generation. Lethal dose value (LD40) of 59% was observed at 2 hours treatment. Treatment was significant (P = 0.05) for seedling emergence percentage (67 -13%), plant height (21.52 -15.63 cm), number of leaves (11.08 -4.98), number of nodes on main stem (6.26 -4.5), survival percentage (63.50 -12.50%) and number of days to first flowering (55.52 -47.30) while treatment was not significant for all other characters studied.
