| Abstract: |
Field experiments were conducted in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) during spring
seasons of 2010 and 2011 to study the response of cowpea varieties to different seeding
dates and fertility level at Regional Agriculture Research Station, Parwanipur. Twelve
treatments consisting of three sowing dates (10111 March, 25th March and lOth April), two
varieties (Prakash and Surya) and two fertility level ( 20:40:20 kg NPK/ha and FYM@ 5
tlha) were replicated thrice in a split- split plot design. Two years result indicated that 25 1
h
March sown crop yielded more than 1 01
h March and the yield was significantly higher over
lOth April sown cowpea. Irrespective of varieties and fertility level, date of seeding
significantly influenced plant height, pod length, number of pods/plant, number of
seeds/pod and I 00 seed weight of cowpea. However, Surya variety of cowpea was superior
over Prakash with respect to growth and yield attributes. Both varieties were more
irresponsive to farm yard manure than inorganic NPK fertilizers. |
