A field experiment was conducted during Kharif, 2021 at crop research farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) with the objective to evaluate the influence of molybdenum and biofertilizers on growth and yield of cowpea. The soil texture of the experimental plot was sandy loam, nearly neutral in soil reaction having pH 7.1. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with ten treatments and were replicated thrice. The treatments comprising of different levels of molybdenum and bio-fertilizers i.e. Rhizobium and Phosphate solubilizing bacteria whose effect was observed in Cowpea. The treatment 6 with application of molybdenum 4g/kg seed and Rhizobium + PSB recorded significantly higher in plant height (78.64cm), branches/plant (15.07), nodules/plant (37.87) and dry weight (45.11g/plant). Molybdenum 4g/kg seed and Rhizobium + PSB also recorded significantly higher in yield and yield attributes viz. pods/plant (16.20), seeds/pod (12.80), seed yield (1.50t/ha), stover yield (4.17t/ha). Therefore, treatment with application of Molybdenum 4g/kg seed along with Rhizobium and PSB was more productive and can be recommended to farmers after further trails.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
