Abstract:
Studies were made on the effect of phorale applied as granule with seeds
treated/untreeted with Rhizobium on growth characterstics and total nitrogen
contents of cowpea. In rhizobium treated plants, plant height and root length were
significantly increased due to phorate treatment while the other factors such as fresh
and dry weights of plants and TNC were increased only at 2 kg ai/ha level. In
cowpea plants not treated with Rhizobium the height of the plant and TNC were
significantly increased in general by phorate application.
