e1“As for the effect of P-fertilization, the results show that all treatments significantly increased vegetative growth (plant height (cm), no. of branches/plant, no. of leaves/plant), yield and its components (No. of pods/plant, No. of seed/pod, 100 seed weight g and Seed yield Kg/fed.) as well as chemical (N, P, K, Zn and Fe) and quality composition (chlorophyll content, c.protien, T. carbohydraties and C. fiber.)”

- Intervention effect P fertilisation significantly increased vegetative growth of cowpea.
- Intervention effect P fertilisation significantly increased seed yield of cowpea.
- Intervention effect P fertilisation significantly increased chemical composition (N, P, K, Zn and Fe) of cowpea.
- Intervention effect P fertilisation significantly increased quality composition of cowpea.
- Observation The highest mean values of cowpea growth parameters were recorded at 150% P of the recommended dose.
- Observation The highest mean values of chlorophyll content and quality parameters were recorded at 100% P of the recommended dose.
- Observation Soil available P, Zn and Fe were highest with P fertilisation at 100% of the recommended dose.
- Observation Soil available N and K were lowest with P fertilisation at 100% of the recommended dose.
- Observation The Zn+Fe mix gave the highest soil available P, Zn and Fe.
- Observation The untreated plots gave the highest soil available N and K.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn+Fe mix gave the highest cowpea growth parameters compared with untreated plants.
- Intervention effect P fertilisation and micronutrients interacted to give a promotive effect on cowpea growth parameters with the Zn+Fe mix.
