Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus significantly affected seed yield, seed weight, nodules and aboveground dry matter in cowpea varieties.
- Association Cowpea varieties differed in response to phosphorus application.
- Observation IT99K-573-2-1 had the highest yield values, followed by IT99K-573-1-1 and IT97K-499-35.
- Observation IT99K-573-2-1 at a phosphorus rate of 40kgha -1 had the highest values across measured yield traits.
- Recommendation The authors recommend IT99K-573-2-1 with 40kgha -1 phosphorus when phosphorus is available.
