| Abstract | ||
| Fertilization of pigeon pea plants with organic, bio and mineral N fertilizers at different rates increased growth and yield compared with control. However mineral N at 80 kg/fed or/with cattle manure at 25 m3/fed or with compost at 8 ton/fed were the best treatments for average pod number/plant, fresh yield and seed yield/fed. Fertilization of pigeon pea plants grown in sandy loam soil during summer plantations with cattle manure at 25 m3/fed increased vine yield as fresh green forage for animals (21.55 ton/fed) followed by fertilization with mineral N at 80 kg/fed (18.75 ton/fed). | ||
