Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during summer 2013–2014 to investigate the "Effect of sources and levels of sulphur on green pod yield of summer cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) under middle Gujarat conditions." Vegetable cowpea plant height measured at 60 DAS and at final picking, number of branches per plant, leaf area index at 30 and 60 DAS, number of green pods per plant, length of pod, number of seeds per pod, total yield of green pods, yield of dry stover and dry weight of root nodules per plant were significantly influenced by sulfur application. Production potential and profit from cowpea variety Anand Vegetable Cowpea-1 could be secured by applying sulphur @ 20-30 kg S/ ha through Gypsum or Bentonite during summer season under middle Gujarat conditions.
