“…Significant differences in CGR were not recorded among the two cowpea varieties, which contradicts that of Karikari et al [26] who observed significant differences in crop growth rate among two cowpea varieties. In all the growth parameters in the present study no significant effects were observed among the interaction of cowpea varieties and different levels of fertilizer, which agrees with other reports [32], [33], although Abayomi et al [34] found a significant interaction between cowpea genotype and fertilizer levels. CGR= Crop growth rate.…”

Background: Cowpea is one of the most important leguminous vegetable crops. It has a unique ability of biological nitrogen fixation and mobilization of insoluble soil nutrient and bringing qualitative changes in soil. The basic concept of integrated nutrient management system is to maintain of plant nutrients supply to achieve a good level of crop production by optimizing the benefits from all possible sources of plant nutrients in an integrated manner, appropriate to each farming system. Considering these aspects, a field experiment was conducted to boost up productivity of cowpea seed. Methods: A field experiment was carried out during Rabi season, 2015-16 at Research Field of the Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh). The experiment was arranged in factorial randomized block design with twenty treatment combinations comprising four cowpea varieties, viz. V1-Pusa Sukomal, V2-Kashi Unnati, V3-Kashi Kanchan and V4-Kashi Shyamal and five integrated nutrient management (INM) practices, viz. N1-Vermicompost 2.5t + Rhizobium (10g/kg seeds) + PSB (10 g/kg seeds) + N (0 kg) + P2O5 (90 kg) + K2O (70 kg)/ha; N2 -Vermicompost 2.5t + Rhizobium (10 g/kg seeds) + PSB (10 g/kg seeds) + N (15kg) + P2O5 (90kg) + K2O (70 kg)/ha; N3 -Vermicompost 2.5t + Rhizobium (10 g/kg seeds) + PSB (10 g/kg seeds) + N (20 kg) + P2O5 (90 kg) + K2O (70 kg)/ha; N4 -Vermicompost 2.5 t + Rhizobium (10 g/kg of seeds) +PSB (10 g/kg seeds) + N (25 kg) + P2O5 (90 kg) + K2O (70 kg)/ha and N5-Vermicompost 2.5 t + Rhizobium (10 g/kg seeds) + PSB (10 g/kg seeds) + N (30 kg) + P2O5 (90 kg) + K2O (70 kg)/ha. Result: In present experiment the cowpea variety V1-Pusa Sukomal recorded superior performance for growth attributes, yield and yield attributes and quality attributes. This variety had taken minimum days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering and days to harvesting. Among the nutrient levels, application of Vermicompost 2.5 t + Rhizobium (10 g/kg seeds) + PSB (10 g/kg seeds) + N (30 kg) + P2O5 (90 kg) + K2O (70 kg)/ha resulted in the highest growth parameters, yield and yield parameters of cowpea seed.

“…The increase in seed output following the application of 1.5 tonnes of vermicompost and 100 percent RDF could be due to higher vegetative growth in the crop, which means more light interception and hence more assimilated production, resulting in higher pod and seed yield. These findings are consistent with those of (Babaji et al, 2011). The data pertaining to Stover yield (t/ha) depicts that the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Stover yield (t/ha) of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) was found to be significant.…”

A field study was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, during the zaid season of 2021. (U.P.). This study was carried out with the objective to study the interaction effect of different levels of NPK, FYM, Vermicompost and Panchagavya on growth and yield of cowpea.The experiment used a randomized block design (RBD) with nine treatments which were replicated three times. The soil texture of the experimental plot was sandy loam, with a pH of 7.2, low organic carbon (0.48 percent), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (13.6 kg/ha), and available K (215.4 kg/ha). The results showed significantly increase in growth parameters i.e. plant height (69.48 cm), number of nodules/plant (24.37), plant dry weight (22.22 g/plant), crop growth rate (3.0 g/m2/plant) and yield attributing parameters i.e. number of pods/plant (15.45), length of pods (27.02cm), number of seeds/pod (13.57), test weight (85.6 g), seed yield (2.68 t/ha), stover yield (6.09 t/ha). The harvest index (30.56) was recorded with vermicompost 1.5t/ha + RDF 100% kg/ha.
