Does nitrogen matter for legumes? Starter nitrogen effects on biological and economic benefits of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) in Guinea and Sudan Savanna of west Africa
The hypothesis that application of starter nitrogen (N) fertilizer to cowpea may increase grain and fodder yields and profitability was tested in the Guinea and Sudan savanna zones of northern Ghana. Two cowpea varieties (Apagbaala: grain-type and Padi-Tuya: dual purpose) and three N fertilizer rate...
