| Abstract: | An experiment was conducted at the Rice Research Station, Pattambl, during the third crop season of 1980-31 to evolve suitable cultural practices for raising cowpea in summer rice fallows. Six levels of tillage and three levels of interculture were tried in all combinations. The study was undertaken with a view to find out the minimum tillage requirements of cowpea and to study the effects of different levels of interculture on the yield of cowpea. The study revealed that tillage had no effect on the retention of soil moisture during the crop growth Drymatter content of the weeds was found to be higher in no-tilled treatments* An increase in plant height, number of leaves and drymatter production, was observed at all the levels of tillage* But dry weight of root i nodules remained unaffected. |
