Abstract:
A field trial was conducted at agronomy farm, S.K.N. Agriculture University, Jobner during kharif season of 2019 to study the response of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] to integrated nutrient management. The experiment comprised of 12 treatments involving control, RDF (20:40), FYM, Poultry Manure and their respective combinations including biofertilizers which was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. Results revealed that the magnitude of protein content was recorded higher under combined application of 50% RDF + PM @ 2 t/ha + Rhizobium + PSB (T₁₂) and remained at par on treatment T₁₁, T₁₀ and T₉. The application of T₁₂ (50% RDF + PM @ 2 t/ha + Rhizobium + PSB) gave significantly higher net returns over T₁ to T₄ treatments. However, it remained at par with T₁₁, T₁₀, T₉, T₈, T₇, T₆ and T₅ treatments.
