Abstract
Field experiments were conducted in Tamil Nadu, India, during the 2002 and 2003 rabi seasons, to study the effect of different in situ soil moisture conservation and nutrient management practices on soil moisture conservation, growth, yield and economics of cowpea under rainfed conditions. Results showed that moisture conservation through ridges and furrows or tied ridges along with mulching recorded significantly higher growth and yield attributes, grain and haulm yields, nutrient uptake and net returns of cowpea. Significant grain yield of cowpea was obtained under ridges and furrows with mulching (715.9 kg/ha), and tied ridges with mulching (297.4 kg/ha) during 2002 and 2003, respectively. Enriched compost application had significant influence on growth and yield attributes, grain and haulm yields and nutrient uptake of cowpea. Enriched compost application during 2002 and integration of 50% inorganic fertilizers and 50% enriched compost during 2003 registered significantly higher grain yield (730.7 and 284.5 kg/ha) of cowpea over farmers' practice of no nutrient application, respectively
