EFFECT OF PLANT GEOMETRY AND FERTILIZER LEVELS ON YIELD AND ECONOMIC OF COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA L. WALP)

Introduction
The cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L.walp.) belongs to family Leguminaceae with subfamily Papilionaceae. Cowpea is one of the most ancient crops known to man. Its origin and subsequent domestication[r]

Cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L).Walp] is the crop of all round utilization, grown for tender pods and seeds, dry seeds as pulses, green leaves and even roots. The immature pods and seeds as well as dry seeds besides being[r]

A field experiments was conducted during Kharif seasons 2007 at Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, Gujarat to study the effect of weed management practices on cowpea under rainfed conditions. It was found that single application of herbicide or cultural practices (1 HW + 1 IC) at 20-25 DAS[r]

The recommended dose of fertilizer for cowpea is 25:50 NP kg ha-1 . Farmers does not follow the recommended dose of fertilizer, they are using low fertilizer level and soil fertility status has deteriorated over the years which resulted in low productivity.

The field experiment on farm trial (OFT) was conducted on effect of balanced fertilizers doses of fertilizers and foliar spray of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on grain yield of Wheat during the Rabi season of the year 2013-14 in order to develop fertilizer prescriptions for the desired yield t[r]

A field experiment entitled “Effect of NPK on plant growth, yield and quality of Capsicum (Capsicum annum L.) c.v. Swarna under shade net Condition” was conducted during Rabi season (October to March) in the year 2014-15 at Horticulture Experimental field, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbotto[r]

An investigation was carried out in no-till sorghum to assess the direct and residual effect of phosphorus management of sorghum in rice-sorghum sequence during rabi, 2016-17 and 2017-18 on clay loam soils of Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla. All treatments are randomly allocated in three replicat[r]

Application of different bio-fertilizers alone or in combination with others as seed, soil and foliar spray revealed that the bio-fertilizers have stimulatory effect on germination, sprouting behaviour and growth parameter of potato.

Considering its importance as commercial flower crop, the study on effect of VAM fungi on the growth, yield and xanthophyll content of marigold, at different phosphorus levels was initiated.

The present study was undertaken to find out the combined effect of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield of bottle gourd.

The main objective of this study was to know the reproductive behaviour of lemon (Citrus limon Burm.) affected by different pruning intensities and integrated nutrient management under various growing season. The experiment was laid out in two factorial Randomized Block Design with four levels of pr[r]

An investigation on effect of sowing time on growth, phenology and yield attribute of summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) was conducted at Agrometeorological Station Farm, School of Forestry and Environment, SHIATS-Deemed-To-Be-University, Allahabad during crop season 2013. Sixteen treatment comb[r]

The present investigation was, therefore, undertaken to study the effect of FYM and zinc application on soil properties, build-up of microbial biomass and yield of barley under irrigation with varying levels of RSC water.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2012 on calcareous soil to study the effect of 4 levels of nitrogen and 3 levels of phosphorus on yield and yield attributes of maize in South Saurastra. N (60, 80, 100 and 120 kg ha-1 ) and P (40, 50 and 60 kg P2O5 ha1 ) with twelve treatment[r]

Potassium plays an important role in relation to water, energy, translocation of assimilates, photosynthesis, protein and starch synthesis, metabolic processes, grain yield or seed formation, improving quality vegetable in terms of size, shape[r]

The research carried out during 2010 at Saffron Research Station Pampore, SKUASTKashmir to investigate the yield relationships between yield and some yield related components of fifty clones of saffron (Croccus sativus L.) by using path coefficient analysis. All the clones were replicated thrice wit[r]

Endophytes are known for its novel metabolites and benefits for host. Diversified role of endophytes are being studied in order to enhance their use in agriculture production system. Endophytes are being use for plant growth promotion, alleviation of biotic and abiotic stresses, enhancing agronomic[r]

A field experiment entitled was conducted on loamy sand soil, which was low in organic carbon and available nitrogen and medium in available phosphorus and potassium during spring season of 2014 and 2015 at Student''s Research Farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Experiment was laid out i[r]

Correlation studies revealed that the genotypic correlations were higher than their corresponding phenotypic correlation for all the characters and the depended trait pod yield per plant was significantly and positively correlated at both phenotypic and genotypic levels with number of mature pods pe[r]
