“…were caused not only dissolving P and K, fix the atmospheric N, but also stimulate the growth regulators and hormones "auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins" production to enhance the beneficial microbes "microbial communities" to inhibit the soil borne pathogens (Birla et al, 2018;Bellitürk, 2018;Al Ali et al, 2019 andSoraya et al, 2020) and increase plant defense, healthy growth and quality food. These are agreement with (Ragab et al, 2016;Lyngdoh et al, 2017;Piya et al, 2018;Htwe et al, 2019 andUmadevi et al, 2019).

“…It is estimated that cowpea able to fix nitrogen up to 200 kg/ha and leave a positive soil N balance of up to 92 kg/ha (Yoganathan et al, 2013;Ragab et al, 2016 andUmadevi et al, 2019). Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) has been promising double purpose as plant proteins for humans and animals forage for animals introduced to the Egyptian agriculture (Lyngdoh et al, 2017). Ezeaku et al, 2015 pointed out that, a cup of cooked dry beans/day should lower in the low-density cholesterol, regulate blood sugars and insulin, prevent gastrointestinal troubles, lower blood pressure and regulate the bowels even for hemorrhoids and cancer.…”

“…It improves soil fertility fixing the atmospheric nitrogen "fix 46 to 103 kg N/h" annually. They can reduce the need of N chemical fertilizer reflects on the environmental cleaning, because of biological N fixation for environmentally friendly and is a good idea for sustainable agriculture (Ezeaku et al, 2015;Lyngdoh et al, 2017 andHtwe et al, 2019) Organic farming for boost agricultural production to important multi features e.g., it is rich in nutrients, vitamins, plant hormones, growth regulators and free from pathogens. Different sources of organic fertilizers provide all nutrients, hormones and vitamins in readily available forms and enhance uptake them by plants and play a major role for developing plant growth and yield and raising the soil quality.…”

“…Organic manures stimulate the beneficial microorganisms activities, which makes the plants to get the macro and micro-nutrients by enhancing biological, chemical and physical properties, increasing nutrient solubility, alter soil salinity (Rajiv et al,. 2009;Yoganathan et al, 2013;Lyngdoh et al, 2017;Piya et al, 2018 andHtwe et al, 2019). Chicken manure, vermicompost can be a good substitute for chemical fertilizers and remove the pesticides and adverse the chemical pollution in newly sandy soil.…”

Positive response of cowpea to three levels (4, 6 and 8 t/fed.) of MOF "the mixture of 25% vermicompost+ 25% chicken manure+25% cow dump+25% plant composted" alone and in combination with beneficial microbes B.M. (the mixture of Azotobacter, Bacillus megatherium and Bacillus circulance) and three times of vermitea (VTS3) were adding (3 times on soil drench) were studied. Two field experiments were carried out at a private farm El Amryia, Egypt in two different sites. Experimental field was laid out with 13 treatments in RCBD with three replicates. On results, T13=MOF (8T/fed.)+B.M.+VTS3 gave the highest mean values of plant height (281.5cm), No. of branches (12.7), No. of pods/plant (37.6), total chlorophyll (60.25 SPAD) in leaves, pod weight (141.0 g/plant) and total pod yield (2924.704 kg/fed) as an average of both sites. The lowest means values at T1 "the control" were (81.6 cm, 2.8, 10.6, 16.8 SPAD, 39.3 g/plant and 815.555 kg/fed as an average of both sites, respectively). As well as; T13 lead to significant increases in grain quality of (N, P and K % and proteins %) were (4.7,0.5,0.9 % and 29.8%, respectively) compared to T1 (1.0, 0.11, 0.21and 6.7%, respectively). While T13 was caused significantly increases in mean values by the mixture of bio-organic fertilizers and bio-pesticides provided best results in vegetative growth, total pod yield and grain quality more than T1 in poor nutrients soil. Organic cowpea was produced by bio-organic fertilizers "MOF+B.M." and vermitea "VTS" really "chemicals free", health protection, cost lowest and environmental friendly.

The integrated application of inorganic fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and biofertilizers helps sustain the nutrient pool and benefits the soil quality, thereby boosting plant health. The effect of different combinations of biofertilizers (consortium biofertilizer [CBF]—non‐rhizobial PGPR), inorganic fertilizers, and organic fertilizers on soil health, growth, and yield of cowpea was evaluated by conducting a field experiment. The application of N100 FYM + CBF resulted in significantly higher populations of bacteria, fungi, PSB, and diazotroph, as well as soil dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase enzyme activities. However, the application of N100 FYM recorded a significantly higher actinomycetes population. The application of N100 FYM + CBF resulted in significantly higher soil OC, available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The soil pH was recorded to be highest in control, and soil EC was recorded to be lowest in control. The plant uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium was significantly higher with N50 FYM + NP50 + CBF. The root–shoot biomass, number of leaves, nodules/plant, number of pods/plants, pod biomass, pod length, and pod width were significantly higher in treatment having N50 FYM + NP50 + CBF. However, the height of the plant, number of branches, and biomass of leaves were highest in treatment with N25 FYM + NP75 + CBF. The pod and stover yield were significantly higher in treatment with N50 FYM + NP50 + CBF. The results showed that the integrated application of non‐rhizobial PGPR along with organic and inorganic fertilizer helps to improve overall soil health, quality, and plant growth of forage cowpea contributing to an increase in crop yield.
