 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was carried out on vertisols during summer 2012 at Bijapur districtof the farmer’s field (Mattihal Village of Basavan Bagewadi Taluk). To study the  “Performance of cowpea genotypes (KBC-2, KM-5, IT-38956-1 and C-152) with different levels of phosphorus (25, 50 and75  P205kg ha-1 ) ” under irrigated condition, The results indicated that seed yield (1397 kg ha-1 ) and harvest index ( 0.51) higher with IT-38956-1 owing to higher number of pods per plant ( 16.78), number of seeds per pod (13.89) seed yield per plant (12.74g) and 100 seed weight ( 12.92g ) as compared to other genotypes such as (KBC-2, KM-5 and C-152) and  among different levels of  phosphorus, application of 50 kg P2O5 ha-1 significantly higher seed yield (1087 kg ha-1) than 25 and 75 kg P2O5 ha-1 due to higher yield contributing characters.

Key words: Cowpea, Genotypes, Phosphorus
