A greenhouse experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2015-16. The experiment was laid out in complete randomized design with four levels of phosphorus (0, 11, 22 and 33 mg P2O5 kg-1 soil) and three levels of bio-inoculants (uninoculed, Rhizobium and Rhizobium + PSB) and three replications. Results revealed that application of 22 mg P2O5 kg-1 significantly increased the plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of leaves plant-1, pods size and number of grains pod-1 and it was at par with 33 mg P2O5 kg-1. However, 33 mg P2O5 kg-1 showed significant increase over the lower phosphorus levels with respect to number of pods plant-1, grain and stover yields. Dual inoculation with Rhizobium + PSB significantly increased plant height, number of branches and leaves plant-1, number of pods plant-1 and pods size over control, while Rhizobium alone was at par with control on these parameters. Rhizobium significantly increased the grain and stover yields over control while Rhizobium + PSB had significant effect over control as well as Rhizobium alone. Interaction effects revealed that highest grain and stover yields were obtained with 33 mg P2O5 kg-1 without inoculation and inoculation with Rhizobium, but yield was at par with 22 mg P2O5 kg-1 when crop inoculated with dual inoculants (Rhizobium + PSB). Application of 33 mg P2O5 kg-1 resulted in the highest content of nitrogen and phosphorus in grain and stover whereas 22 mg P2O5 kg-1 gave highest content of potassium. Rhizobium had significant effect only on nitrogen content whereas Rhizobium + PSB increased both nitrogen and phosphorus contents. Uptake of nutrients by the crop increased significantly with application of P and bio-inoculants. Phosphorus and bio-inoculant application improved only phosphorus content significantly of post harvest soil.

A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effect of zinc and nitrogen on growth, nodulation pattern and yield of cowpea. The treatments were four levels of nitrogen ( 0 , 10, 20 and 30 kg/ha) and four levels of zinc (0, 5, 10 and 15 kg/ha). Application of various levels of nitrogen significantly increased dry matter production/plant , plant height number of branches/ plant, effective nodules/ plant, total nodule / plant, effective nodules weight /plant, pods/plant , seeds/pod and grain yield. Similarly zinc significantly increased plant height, branches / plant, number of leaves/plant, dry matter /plant, effective nodules weight /plant and grain yield. There was no significant interaction between nitrogen and zinc on grain yield.

The objective of this experiment was to analyze growth dynamics, yield and nutrient concentration of Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson at different harvest ages. A pot experiment was conducted at Green House Laboratory of Agrostology, Faculty of Animal Science, Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia, during the growing season of 2018. Seedlings were transplanted into 115 polybags arranged in a completely randomized design with 23 replications. Plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, dry matter (DM) yields and nutrient concentrations at 30, 40, 50, 70 and 90 days after transplanting (DAT) were determined. Whereas plant height, number of leaves, number of branches and DM yields increased with age, nutrient concentrations followed different patterns. Crude protein % in leaf peaked at 24.2% at 40 DAT then decreased progressively to 8.4% at 90 DAT, while corresponding figures for stem were 10.6 and 2.8%, respectively. Crude fiber concentrations in leaf increased from 10.6% at 30 days to 17.3% at 90 days; corresponding figures for stem were 23.2 and 39.2%. From this pot study, cutting between 40 and 50 days after planting seemed to represent a suitable compromise between DM yield and protein percentage. Studies are needed to determine the repeatability of these results under field conditions and the regrowth potential of plants following harvesting.
