Abstract: The effects of different seed disinfection methods on Longwen cultivar cowpea seeds were investigated. Optimum results were achieved by surface sterilizing the seeds with 0. 1% mercury bichloride solution for 8 minutes（contamination rate 11%，germination rate 77%）. The contamination rate can be efficiently decreased by adding 300 mg/L cefotaxime sodium to the medium after surface sterilization（7%）. This method does not affect the normal growth of plants，85% of plants reached the height of 3 cm after 10 days.

Key words: cowpea, disinfectant, mercury bichloride, sodium hypochlorite, cefotaxime sodium, aseptic culture
