Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Evaluation of Nutrient Content and Uptake of Summer Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) in Integrated Nutrient Management under South Gujarat Condition” conducted during the summer season of 2016 with 8 treatment combinations replicated thrice in a factorial randomized block design (FRBD) at Navsari. Combinations of two levels of inorganic fertilizers were used as the treatment i.e. 50% RDF (F1) and 100% RDF (F2); two levels organic manures i.e. FYM @ 0 t /ha (O1) and FYM @ 2.5 t/ ha (O2) and two levels bio-fertilizers i.e. No inoculation (B1) and seed inoculation with Rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (B2). An application of 100% RDF (F2) showed appreciably higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content and uptake by seed and haulm respectively as compared to F1(50% RDF). An application of FYM @ 2.5 t /ha (O 2) showed appreciably higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content and uptake by seed and haulm respectively as compared with treatment O1 (FYM @ 0 t /ha). There was not significant of organic manures on nitrogen and phosphorus content by haulm.
