Abstract

Cowpea responded well to phosphorus and P application increased green-fodder production and P uptake. With respect to green-fodder production, the rock phosphate was found to be 50–55% as effective as superphosphate. Phosphorus when applied at 50 kg P2O5/ha as superphosphate or rock phosphate almost doubled the P uptake by the summer-season crop of cowpea as compared to no phosphorus control. The residual effect did not differ significantly on succeeding rainy-season crop of cowpea. Application of starter N increased the total green-fodder yield of two crops by 38 q/ha. re]19750710
