t0“Efficacy of bio-fertilizers and chemical fertilizers on growth and yield of cowpea varieties”
e1“A field experiment was conducted from February to June 2022 in the Nawalparasi West, Nepal”
e2“Malepatan-1 exhibited superior growth and yield compared to Stickless, with higher plant height (125.73 cm), seed weight plant−1 (72.29 g), thousand grain weight (151.62 g), and yield hectare−1 (3536.83 kg ha−1)”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Malepatan-1 had higher plant height (125.73 cm) than Stickless.
- Association Malepatan-1 had higher thousand grain weight (151.62 g) than Stickless.
- Association Malepatan-1 had higher yield per hectare (3536.83 kg ha−1) than Stickless.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhiza + rhizobium gave yield (4321.41 kg ha−1) comparable to the combination of the former (4714.26 kg ha−1).
- Intervention effect Mycorrhiza + rhizobium gave thousand grain weight (167.19 g) comparable to the combination of the former (176.83 g).
- Intervention effect Mycorrhiza + rhizobium had a higher benefit-cost ratio (3.76) than biofertilizers with chemicals.
- Recommendation The study recommends mycorrhiza + rhizobium over biofertilizers combined with chemicals for cowpea.
- Recommendation The study suggests cowpea variety Malepatan-1 with biofertilizers, excluding chemical fertilizers, for sustainable production.
