Abstract:
An experiment to study the effects of lime, phosphorus and rhizobium
inoculation on the growth and yield of cowpea was conducted at the College of
Agriculture, Vellayani during 1979. About 24^ increase in the yield of cowpea
could be obtained by the application of lime at 300 kg/ha. Phosphorus application
or seed inoculation with rhizobium culture did not produce any beneficial effect on
the growth, nodulation or yield of cowpea under Vellayani conditions.
