Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Microbial biopreparations significantly improved cowpea growth and nutrient accumulation.
- Intervention effect Microbial biopreparations significantly improved cowpea nodule formation and nitrogenase activity.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal inoculation with a 25% mineral nitrogen dose was especially effective for the reported cowpea responses.
- Observation The authors estimated microbial biofertilizers could reduce economic costs by at least 50–75% relative to mineral nitrogen fertilizer.
- Recommendation The authors advise using microbial biofertilizers with a low nitrogen dose in low-fertility soil.
