Experiment Title
|
INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IN SEED PRODUCTION OF FODDER COWPEA (Vigna unguiculata L.) UNDER SOUTH GUJARAT CONDITION |
|
Research Type
|
Departmental Research |
|
Experiment Background
|
India has the largest livestock population in the world, which is about 18 per cent of the world's livestock population with only 2 per cent of the world's geographical area. Availability of nutritious feed and fodder is a major bottleneck for enhancing livestock products. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is a multipurpose kharif and warm season pulses crop, commonly cultivated all over India. Cowpea is also called vegetable meat due to high amount of protein having better biological value. Cowpea is cultivated as seed, green vegetable and fodder in diverse agriculture system in many countries. Among the various agronomic practices for increasing productivity of crop, nutrient management plays an important role. Judicious combination of organic, inorganic and bio fertilizer maintains the soil fertility and productivity. This may ultimately cause a significant reduction in use of chemical fertilizers. Considering the above facts and views, the present experiment is planned. |
