| Abstract | ||||
| These field experiment werw carried out at Kaha Experimental Station, Qalubia Governorate during the two successive summer seasons of 2014 and 2015, to study the effect of foliar spray with some microelements, i.e. Fe, Zn and Mn at 150 and 200ppm for each on growth, seed yield and its components as well as on the chemical constituents of cowpea dry seeds (Vigna unguiculata L.) cv. Kafr El-Sheikh. The results indicated that, foliar spraying with mixture of some microelements i.e. Fe+ Zn + Mn at 150ppm for each significantly increased growth, seed yield and its chemical constituents such as carbohydrates, protein % and Fe, Zn , Mn in the dry seeds compared with the other treatments and the control. For that, it can be recommended that spraying cowpea plants with mixture of zinc, manganese and iron at the concentration of 150ppm from each gave the highest seed yield with best quality. | ||||
