“…This agrees with earlier reports that application of starter N fertilizer in different sources of phosphorus fertilizer increased cowpea grain and fodder yields and phosphorus nutrient use efficiency [6]. However, Da Silva et al [22] reported that application of N fertilizer at higher rate to Phaseolus vullgaris inhibit biological N fixation and does not also result in higher yields. Similarly, other studies have reported a decrease in NUE with increased N application to Phaseolus vulgaris in different locations of Ethiopia [23].…”

The hypothesis that application of starter nitrogen (N) fertilizer to cowpea may increase grain and fodder yields and profitability was tested in the Guinea and Sudan savanna zones of northern Ghana. Two cowpea varieties (Apagbaala: grain-type and Padi-Tuya: dual purpose) and three N fertilizer rates (0-30-30, 15-30-30 and 30-30-30 N-P2O5-K2O kg/ha) were evaluated using a 2 × 3 factorial treatments arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Grain and fodder yields, 100 seed weight (SW) and net return of Padi-Tuya increased significantly compared with Apagbaala in both zones. Application of starter N fertilizer increased grain yield, fodder yield, N use efficiency (NUE) and net return by more than 30% compared with the control in both zones. Padi-Tuya cowpea with 15 kg/ha N fertilizer was risk efficient at all risk aversion levels when only grain was considered, but Padi-Tuya with 30 kg/ha N fertilizer becomes the most risk efficient option when the value of fodder was included. The results suggest that small-scale farmers could apply starter N fertilizer at either 15 kg/ha N for grain only or 30 kg/ha N for both grain and fodder yields improvement of cowpea in West Africa and similar ecologies.

“…The addition of N to dry bean is reported to decrease N 2 fixation and nodulation (both in nodule mass and number present per plant) (Graham, 1981;Da Silva et al, 1993;Leidi and Rodriguez-Navarro, 2000). This study supports these findings to some degree, since nodule ratings were reduced by some N treatments, especially at the higher N rates.…”

“…Nitrogen fixation may be limited by several factors alone or more often in combination: low levels of micronutrients, competition with native (but usually ineffective) soil rhizobia, and high inputs of N which tend to inhibit fixation (Graham and Ranalli, 1997). Studies have shown that inoculation of dry beans with effective rhizobia helps with nitrogen fixation and increases yields (Duque et al, 1985;Da Silva et al, 1993;Camacho et al, 2001), but yields were not affected in the Upper Midwest (Weiser et al, 1985). Even when inoculated, some studies have found higher yields with the addition of N fertilizers (Edje et al, 1975;Henson and Bliss, 1991).…”

Kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production on an irrigated, coarse-textured soil in response to polymer coated urea and tillage: I. Grain yields, disease severity, and a simple economic analysis

Kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Minnesota are commonly grown on irrigated, coarse-textured soils that are susceptible to nitrate leaching. A dense Bt layer that is present in these soils restricts root growth and may increase severity of Fusarium root rot. Anecdotal evidence from local growers suggests that breaking up the Bt layer reduces the impact of root rot. This study was conducted to assess different tillage depths and the use of polymer coated urea (PCU, Agrium U.S. Inc. and WSPCU, Specialty Fertilizer Products) on grain yields, net monetary returns and disease severity. The study was conducted over three years as a split plot design. Whole plots were deep and shallow tillage (chisel plowed to an average of 47 and 29 cm, respectively) while N treatments were subplots. Three rates of PCU applied at emergence were compared with equivalent rates of urea split applied at emergence and prebloom. Also, one rate of each source, including WSPCU, was applied at planting and a 0 N control was included. Differences between tillage depths were not found. Disease severity was not significantly affected by tillage depths or N treatment. Emergence applied PCU resulted in lower grain yields and monetary returns than split urea applications. PCU applied at planting, however, resulted in similar yields and monetary returns compared with split and planting urea, which suggests a more optimal N regime for kidney bean production. Planting applied WSPCU also resulted in similar yields and net returns as planting applied urea.

“…The present findings also agreed with reports by Madukwe et al [23] that the application of manure increased the soil pH and other soil physico-chemical properties after treatment. Higher pH values at harvest was earlier attributed to application of phosphorus fertilizer and the positive effect of liming which neutralized soil acidity [24].…”

Aim: This study evaluates the effects of soil amendment with organic manure-OM and agricultural lime-AL on the growth and yield of Phaseolus vulgaris and Vigna aconitifolia grown on soils with 3 different pH (locations) in Southern Cross River State. Study Design: The study was laid in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out at the Greenhouse, Department of Plant and Ecological Studies, University of Calabar for a period of 3 months. Methodology: The three locations were: Akamkpa with pH 4.0, Calabar Municipality with pH of 7.0 and Odukpani with pH of 9.0. The treatments were; control (0 g), OM1 (100 g organic manure), OM2 (200g organic manure), AL1 (100 g agricultural lime), AL2 (200 g agricultural lime), OM1 + AL1 (50 g organic manure + 50 g agricultural lime) and OM2 +AL2 (100 g organic manure and 100 g agricultural lime. Results: Results obtained from the physico-chemical properties of the soil before treatment application revealed low nutrients and minerals which increased after treatment application. Six weeks after planting, there were significant increase in plant height (p<0.05) of P. vulgaris and V. aconitifolia on soil from Akamkpa (169.66 cm) and Odukpani (146.63 cm) treated with OM2 + AL2 compared to 43.77 cm and 71.77 cm from control. Leaf area, petiole length, number of leaves were all significantly improved especially at 8 weeks after planting. Fresh weights of leaf, stem and root revealed higher yield (p<0.05) at the final harvest recorded as 8 weeks after planting than the amount at 4 weeks after planting. The results obtained from the pod number, pod weight and number of seed showed significant improvement after treatment application. Conclusion: The findings of this study strongly support the use of organic manure and agriculture lime as affordable and accessible sources of manure especially for our local farmers.
