Abstracts |
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2003/04, in Bangalore, Karnataka, India, to evaluate the response of cowpea cv. TVX-944-02E to phosphorus (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg/ha) alone or in combination with sulfur (20 kg/ha, as gypsum), zinc (10 kg/ha, as zinc sulfate), Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum (phosphate solubilizing bacterium or PSB) and Glomus mosseae (vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza or VAM). Observations were recorded for pod length, test weight, harvest index, threshing percentage, haulm yield and grain yield. Application of 50 kg P + 20 kg S + 10 kg Zn/ha + PSB + VAM recorded the highest haulm (2942 kg/ha) and grain yield (2208 kg/ha) as well as the highest net return (Rs. 22 271/ha). |
