“…The results showed a significant increase in the values of all vegetative growth parameters with each increase in nitrogen chemical fertilization level from 75% N to 100% N when plants irrigated with magnetized water as compared with those plants irrigated with untreated water in both seasons. These findings agree with those obtained by Seran and Imthiyas (2016) and Jayasinghe and Weerawansh (2018) in tomato plants. Sainju et al, (2003) stated that N deficiency reduced dry matter and leaf area and resulted in fewer leaflets that provide less light interception and a lower rate of photosynthesis.…”

Using of magnetized water has shown several advantages including improvement quality of irrigation water and increase the productivity of vegetable crops. Therefore, the present work was carried out to study the response of growth, yield, water and nitrogen use efficiency of cowpea for irrigation with two types of irrigation water (magnetized and non-magnetized water) under two levels of nitrogen fertilizer (100 and 75 % of the recommended rate) during the summer seasons of 2018 and 2019. The results cleared that all yield parameters increased significantly when irrigation occurred using magnetic water, such as total yield which increased by about 26 and 31% in the first and second season, respectively. Concerning the effects of magnetized water, the results reflected that irrigation with magnetic water significantly increased the values of the water use efficiency from 0.40 and 0.42 kg/m 3 to 0.52 and 0.54 kg/m 3 with magnetic water in both growing seasons. The gradual increases of nitrogen fertilizer levels were accompanied with significant increases on vegetative growth and yield, as well as nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency. The interaction effects between types of irrigation water and different levels of nitrogen fertilizer significantly affected all treatments and reflected a positive impact. The results reflect the possibility of reducing the applied rate of nitrogen fertilizer when cowpea plants irrigated with magnetized water to a percentage 25% without affecting the different studied characters. As well as many benefits for cowpea plants such as enhancing vegetative growth, increasing yield, improving crop quality were achieved.

“…Annual mean rainfall varies from 1400 mm to 1680 mm (Department of Meteorology, 2022). The precipitation amount ranges from 25 mm in the driest month (June) to 420 mm in the wettest one (December) in the experimental site where type of the soil is sandy regosol which contains low amounts of nitrogen (10.0 µg/g), phosphorus as P2O5 (40.0 µg/g), potassium as K2O (0.25 meq/100 g) and organic carbon (0.3%) from the previous research work (Seran and Imthiyas, 2016). Cowpea cv waruni was used in this experiment.…”

Poultry waste is a rich source of nitrogen nutrient compared to other elements. In crop cultivation, combined application of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers increase soil nutrients which are available to plants. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. walp) is a significant grain legume production and it is used as a source of low cost protein for human consumption particularly in the developing countries. Thus, the experiment was conducted to determine the effects of poultry waste with phosphorus and potassium inorganic fertilizers on seed yield of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.). The pot experiment was designed in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with six treatments and seven replicates. Treatments included T1 – 100% inorganic fertilizer [35 kg ha-1 urea, 100 kg ha-1 triple superphosphate (100% TSP) and 75 kg ha-1 muriate of potash (100% MOP)], T2 – 10 t ha-1 poultry waste alone, T3 – 10 t ha-1 poultry waste + 25% TSP + 25% MOP, T4 – 10 t ha-1 poultry waste + 50% TSP + 50% MOP, T5 – 10 t ha-1 poultry waste + 75% TSP + 75% MOP, T6 – 10 t ha-1 poultry waste + 100% TSP + 100% MOP. The result confirmed that the poultry waste with potassium and phosphorus inorganic fertilizers had significant differences (P<0.05) on most of the agronomic parameters tested in this experiment. Results revealed that application of 10 t ha-1 poultry waste with 100% TSP and 100% MOP treatment (T6) showed the best treatment for cowpea yield in term of seed yield. But significant variation on seed yield was not observed between T5 (10 t ha-1 poultry waste with 75% TSP and 75% MOP treatment) and T6 (10 t ha-1 poultry waste + 100% TSP + 100% MOP) treatments. Therefore, application of 10 t ha-1 poultry waste reduces the usage of inorganic fertilizers (urea by 100%, TSP by 25% and MOP by 25%) for obtaining better seed yield in cowpea cultivation.

The present study was conducted to investigate the vegetative propagation of Sansevieria trifasciata under ex vitro conditions. The experiment was conducted at the net house to select the best leaf segment among apical, middle and bottom portions of leaves and also to evaluate their performance in different potting media. Leaf segments were taken from apical, middle and bottom portions and planted in soil: compost at 1:0, soil: compost at 1:1 and soil: compost at 1:2 ratios. After 90 days, number of shoots per cutting (>1cm), number of shoot buds (
