An experiment was conducted to evaluate the varying organic and inorganic nutrient sources on fodder cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] in the kharif of 2017 at ICAR- NDRI, Karnal. The result revealed that application of 100% RDF (N,P,K) along with biofertilizers (rhizobium, PSB, potassium and zinc solubilizer bacteria) (T6) gave significantly (P less than 0.05) higher in plant height (204.6 cm), primary branches (6.1), root length (24.47 cm), green matter yield (334.5 q ha-1), CGR (8.13 g m-2 day-1), RGR (4.68 g g-1 day-1), K content (1.45%) in plant, P uptake (23.01 kg ha-1) and K uptake (86.04 kg ha-1) and available Zn status (0.465 ppm) in soil, after harvesting of the crop. However, N content (2.93%) in plant, N uptake (172.51 kg ha-1) and Zn uptake (192.03 g ha-1) was maximum with the application of 66.67% RDF along with biofertilizers consortium (T7). Application of 100% RDF along with PSB (T3) recorded highest number of nodule (33), P content in plant (0.389%) and available P status (24.76 g ha-1) in soil, after harvest. Further studies that, available N status (208.03 kg h-1), K status (221.27 kg ha-1) in soil, after harvest and Zn content (33.31 ppm) in plant were significantly higher with these treatments like T8 -15 N, 60 P2O5, 40 K2O kg ha-1 along with rhizobium, T4 -100% RDF along with K solubilizer and T11 -FYM 5 t ha -1 with biofertilizers, respectively. In context of the economics of fodder cowpea production, highest gross return (Rs. 53525 ha-1) was obtained from T6 while maximum net return (Rs. 31351 ha-1) and benefit-cost ratio (1.45) were worked out maximum with the treatment T7.

“…Application of fertilizer contributed 15% fodder yield increase across varieties. The yield increases with fertilizer application to cowpea was reported in few other research reports in the literature (Miheretu & Addo, 2017;A. Singh et al, 2011).…”

Addressing the challenges of food and nutrition insecurity in sub‐Saharan Africa will require innovative agriculture production systems that support multiple objectives. Dual‐purpose cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp] varieties are expected to offer greater grain yields for human consumption and high‐quality fodder for livestock in semiarid regions of Senegal. However, limited information is available on the effects of varieties and fertilizer on dual‐purpose cowpea. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the grain and fodder yield of five newly released cowpea varieties (Kelle, Leona, Lizard, Sam, and Thieye) compared to traditional variety (Yacine) with fertilizer (nitrogen‐phosphorus‐potassium 6‐20‐10) and no‐fertilizer application. Genotype × environment × management experimentations were conducted across three cowpea production zones of Darou Mousty (400 mm per year), Bambey (500 mm per year), and Boulel (700 mm per year) over three growing seasons (2019–2021) to compare the growth and yield parameters of the cowpea varieties. Results of the study showed a 40% grain yield advantage from the greater yielding (Leona) variety in this study compared with the lower yielding (Lizard) variety. There was an additional 22% grain yield increase from the application of fertilizer compared with the unfertilized treatment. The variety (Leona) that produced the most grain also produced the most fodder yields. There was 67% fodder yield advantage from Leona compared with fodder yield from the older variety Yacine. Across varieties, application of fertilizer increased fodder yield by 15% compared to the unfertilized control. Average grain yield in high‐yielding environment (Boulel 2019, Darou Mousty 2019, and Bambey 2021) was 100% greater compared with average grain yield in low‐yielding environments (Boulel 2021, Darou Mousty 2021, and Bambey 2019). Compared to Yacine, dual‐purpose varieties increased net returns by 15%–58% or 13%–42% with early‐ and late‐season cowpea sales, respectively. However, fertilizer application was profitable only when cowpea grain and fodder were sold later in the season. In general, cowpea number of branches, pod number, and pod yield increased with fertilizer application. We concluded that producers can adopt dual‐purpose varieties and proper fertilizer management to increase grain yield, fodder availability, and profitability of cowpea production in Senegal.

“…Number of leaves per plant as depicted in Table 1, the result recorded that the highest number of leaves was observed 29.54 at 75 DAS for the treatment T 9 [Biochar 5 t/ha + Poultry Manure 2 t/ha] and lowest number of leaves was observed 38.73 at 30 DAS for the treatment T 1 [control]. (Miheretu et al, 2017). Number of pods per plantas depicted in the table, the result explained that the highest number of fruits was observed 22.2 at 75 DAS for the treatment T 9 [Biochar 5 t/ha + Poultry Manure 2 t/ha] and lowest number of fruits was observed 13.45 at 30 DAS for the treatment T 1 [control].…”

The research work was conducted during Kharif season 2020-2021 at the Naini Agricultural Institute Research Farm of the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry in Prayagraj (U.P). The data was recorded on 27 plots using 9 treatments including control having 3 levels of Biochar and Poultry Manure respectively (0%, 50%, 100% /ha). This research trial data was recorded based on mean performances in T9 (B3 P3) @ 100% Biochar + 100% Poultry Manure was showed the highest yield (98.05 q/ha). The combination effect of both soil amendment (Biochar and poultry Manure) shown highest results in plant height (cm), number of leaves, number of pods per plant, pod length(cm), weight of pods per plant (cm). The results showed that mean performances of growth parameters of cowpea are shown highest in 75 DAS was found significant. It can be concluded that from this research it is possible to recommend the treatment (T9) combination of Biochar (5 t/ha) + Poultry Manure (2 t/ha). It shows effective response to soil fertility and increase in plant growth parameters and yield of cowpea.
