Abstract

As regards to the interaction effect out of the total Sixteen treatment combinations treatment T16 i.e. P3 F1 B1 application of 75kg Phosphorus along with FYM @ 5tone and inoculation of seed, with PSB, found significantly the better in respect of growth the Plant and seed yield in cowpea. However, treatment T14 (P2 F1 B1) in application of 50kg P2 O5, 5 tones FYM and seed inoculation with PSB showed statistically at par results in all respects. The application of Phosphorus, FYM and PSB gave significantly results in respect of seed yield of cowpea per hectare. Further, significantly the maximum (18.51 per ha) seed yield of cowpea has been produced by the plant supplied with 75kg P2 O5, 5 tone FYM and seed inoculation with PSB (P3 F1 B1), whereas it was reported minimum (12.12q/ha), seed yield of cowpea per hectare by the control treatment combination (P0 F0 B0). Treatment T16 significantly the maximum (18.51q/ha) seed yield of cowpea. Gross Monetary returns (Rs.46275), Net monetary return (Rs. 25063) and B:C ratio (2.18) was registered by the treatment T16 (application of 75kg P2O5, 5 tone FYM and seed inoculation with PSB). However, it was noticed statistically at par with the treatment T14 (application of 50kg P2O5, 5 tones FYM and seed inoculation with PSB), Where in Gross monetary returns (Rs.44600), Net Monetary return (Rs.23625) and B:C ratio (2:12) was recorded.
