Performance of cowpea as influenced by native strain of rhizobia, lime and phosphorus in Samaru, Nigeria

The complimentary effects of a native rhizobia strain (SAMFIX 286), lime and single superphosphate (SSP) as components of ISFM were evaluated on the biomass, nodulation and N 2 fixation of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L.). Lime was applied at the rate of 250 kg (Ca(OH) 2 ) ha −1 , while SSP was applie...

Zusammenfassung:The complimentary effects of a native rhizobia strain (SAMFIX 286), lime and single superphosphate (SSP) as components of ISFM were evaluated on the biomass, nodulation and N 2 fixation of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L.). Lime was applied at the rate of 250 kg (Ca(OH) 2 ) ha −1 , while SSP was applied at 30 kg P ha −1 . The trial was carried out in a screen house with the treatments arranged in randomized complete block design. Results obtained show that the performance of SAMFIX 286 inoculated plants did not significantly ( p
