The cowpea is a main source of vegetable protein for the people of lower purchasing power of Asia, Africa, Europe and North America, Central and South. In the North and Northeast of Brazil, represent one the most important leguminous food of the diet. Most of the genotypes grown in the world have simple inflorescence. However, cultivars with composite inflorescence were find in cowpea. The aim this work was to study the inherintance of the characters related to production and to inflorescence in crosses between genotypes with simple inflorescence and composite inflorescence. The work was realized at Embrapa Meio-Norte, in Teresina, PI, in the years from 2006 to 2007. It was been made crosses between TVx 5058-09C (P2) x Cacheadoroxo (P1) and Cacheado-roxo (P1) x AU94-MOB-816 (P3). The genitor Cacheadoroxo with composite inflorescence and the other two genitors presenting simple inflorescence. The parents, the generations F1's, F2's and the backcrosses were evaluated in complete randomized blocks design with six repetitions. The parents and F1's consisted of a plot per block, the F2 generations and the backcrosses consisted of five and two rows per block, respectively. The plots were represented per one row with 7,0 m of length, the spacing between rows was 1,0 m and between hole in rows of 0,70 m. The genetic studies were realized with based on the means and variances, with help of the Program Genes. The comparison of means between the populations with simple inflorescence and with composite inflorescence was made using the “t” test with the degrees of freedom obtained by the approach of Satterthwaite. The complete model was enough to explain the observed variation in the characters related to production and peduncle. The additive effect was the more important in the genetic control for most of the characters, suggests are useful in the selection for increased of the production. The heritabilities were low and average magnitudes, recommending that the selection is made in generations more advanced. Statisticaly were differences significant between the mean of the population with simple inflorescence and the averages of populations with composite inflorescence for the characters under study.
