TITLE Effect of different seed dressers on the growth and yield of cowpea (vigna unguiculata l. Walp) |
ABSTRACT This study was carried out at the Agronomy Department, Delta University Asaba Campus in 2012 cropping season to determine the effect of seed dressers on the growth and yield of cowpea in Asaba area. Five different seed dressers calthio Apron plus 60, Dress force 42 WS, seed plus 30 WS were used. This experiment was set in a complete randomized design (CRD) consisting of six treatments and replicated 5 times. The data collected included number of laves, plant height , leaf area, biomass of the whole plant (fresh and dry weight, and yield related parameters. In all the parameters the different seed dressers had a significant effect on the growth parameters as compared to the control. Among the seed dressers performed well but the SEEDREX performed best with a significant effect on the growth and yield of cowpea |
