 Cowpea(vigna unguiculata(L)walp), kunde. Leguminosae family.  Origin: Africa, tropics and subtropics.hot weather.  Kenya produces 75% of worlds cowpea.  Area;1800ha,excluding homegarden cowpea.  Cheap source of protein.  Leaves,pods and seeds utilized as food.

 There is limited phosphorus availability in western kenya soils.  Fertilizer is becoming more expensive.  Land is limited.  Animal manure is misused/wasted.

Nutrients:24%carbohydrates,57%protein. Pods,seeds and leaves utilized as food Cheap and inexpensive source of protein Fertilizer is expensive Limited land

To make use of animal manure Provide cheap and inexpensive source of phosphorus Hypothesis Both manure and fertilizer have an effect on development and production of cowpea

Site:kabete campus field station Materials:kk1 seeds,DAP and manure Method:  RBD,4treatments,3replicates,12plots,5.5 x5.5m,1 x 1.5m  Spacing:20x60 cm,3 seeds per hole,0.5m between plots  Fertilizer applicatio rate:200kg/ha  Manure application rate:4 tonnes per ha

1. Number of leaves per treatment 2. Dry matter per treatment 3. Number of pods per treatment

4. Height of pods per treatment 5. Weight of seeds per treatment 6. Relative humidity and temperatures

 Fertilizer mixed with manure shows the highest cowpea production.  Manure alone gives low cowpea production in the first season because manure is released slowly to the soil,but in the second season manure give highest production.  Fertilizer shows the highest cowpea production because it is released easily.  Control shows lowest results because no nutrients were applied.

 Both fertilizer and manure have a significant effect on development and production of cowpea.  Manure and fertilizer gives high production and yield on cowpea.  Cowpea requires low temperatures and high relative humidity for good production.

 Farmers should be advised to use manure because it is released slowly but supply nutrients for many seasons, it is cheap and also it increases cowpea production.  Farmers should be advised to combine fertilizer and manure for better results on cowpea production.
