Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Response of biofertilizer and fertility levels on growth and yield of summer cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] Under South Gujarat condition” conducted at Navsari with eight treatment combinations replicated thrice in factorial randomized block design during the summer season of 2019. The treatment consisted combinations of two levels of biofertilizers (B1: Control, B2: Seed inoculation with Rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria) and four levels of inorganic fertilizers (F0: Control, F1: 50% RDF, F2: 75% RDF and F3: 100% RDF). As regards the growth parameters the higher plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight (g), length of pods (cm), seed yield (kg ha-1), haulm yield (kg ha-1) and harvest index (%) were significantly increased to a greater extent by the treatment seed inoculation with Rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (B2) and 100% RDF (F3) which was found significantly differ from the others treatments.
