Bio-Inoculants, Cowpea, Potassium humateAbstract
Experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2014-15 in the cage house, Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University, Jobner. The application of potassium humate and seed inoculation with bio-inoculants significantly increased the NPK contentand uptake,quality and yield of cowpea. The results revealed that the higher values of NPK content, uptake and Protein content in seed of cowpeaare obtain under the application of potassium humate @10 mg/ kg soil and Rhizobium+VAM+PSB seed inoculation than other treatment.
