Residual effect of soil test value based fertilizer application and amendments on cowpea productivity in acidic soil
Author(s): Hari Mohan Meena and HC Prakasha
Abstract: A study on the residual effect of soil test value based fertilizer application and amendments on cowpea productivity in an acid soil was carried out in randomized complete block design with eight treatments. The results revealed that residual effect of soil test value based fertilizer application along with biochar or lime significantly increased the growth and yield parameters like plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of pods plant-1, pod length, number of seeds pod-1 and 100-seeds weight (g) at harvest of cowpea over package of practice and farmer’s practice. Significantly increased the seed and haulm yield of cowpea with residual effect residual effect of soil test value based fertilizer application along with biochar and lime as compared to farmer’s practice. Balanced use of fertilizer led to a significant increase in the productivity of cowpea.
