- Intervention effect Inoculation increased cowpea biomass by 51% in zone-V in the second cropping year.
- Intervention effect Inoculated cowpea showed a low but significant AMF colonization response versus uninoculated plants.
- Observation Native and introduced rhizobia formed cowpea nodules.
- Intervention effect Inoculated cowpea roots had significantly more nodules than uninoculated roots.
- Intervention effect Inoculated cowpea roots had significantly higher nodule dry weight than uninoculated roots.

- Recommendation The authors suggest AMF, rhizobia, and M. anisopliae as economical and safe bio-inoculants for cowpea production in Cameroon.
