* The wood is heavy and close grained but soft and brittle, which limits its use. * It is considered important in cleansing drainage waters since the plants slow water flow during flooding, allowing segments to fall out of the water column.
In some regions, such as the southeastern United States, it grows in the wild as an introduced and invasive species. * Because this species tolerates arid soils, it is grown as a windbreak, and for sand stabilization, and soil conservation.

The green pods are easy to shell. Try with for maximum Nitrogen fixation. The peas themselves have a deep purple color when first shelled which then turn black when dried. Black Crowder cowpea is a high yielding variety of long pods.
This plant can be found growing in well drained soils of prairies, bluffs, and open woodlands. * Plants have an extensive root system, they tolerate poor dry soils and are also wind resistant, they are used as a windbreak and also to prevent soil erosion.
May apply up to, and including, day of harvest. Effective against bacterial spot, powdery mildew, rust, gray mold, leaf blight, scab, and more. A broad spectrum bio-fungicide to control plant diseases.
* Big Bluestem is a perennial grass. * Seed germination appears to be dependent on about a 2-week period of moistened seed at a time when soil temperatures have reached 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
