EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT LEVEL OF COW DUNG MANURE AND CHEMICAL FERTILIZER ON THE VEGETATIVE GROWTH OF SOME SELECTIVE COW PEA VARIETIES
ABSTRACT The low productivity of the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) leafy vegetables in smallholder farms in Nigeria is partly attributed to moisture stress, declining soil fertility and poor leaf harvesting practices. To increase the productivity and utilization of these crops requires development of suitable agronomic practices such as appropriate watering regimes, effective nutrient management, and best harvesting practices. Pot and field experiments were conducted at the University of Nairobi's ...
