Abstract: The experiment was conducted to study the effect of EM-Bokashi on seed performance in vegetable cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.). Results showed that the seeds harvested from animal manure EM-bokashi recorded significant increases in their vegetative and reproductive growth parameters than those from chemical and non-fertilized plants. Among the seeds harvested from different types of animal manure Bokashi, seeds in goat manure EM-bokashi showed high dry weights of stem, number of nodules, pod weight and plant biomass. Hence, it could be concluded that the use of animal manure with EM in vegetable cowpea cultivation could give the healthy seeds as planting material for obtaining high pod and seed yields and also for favourable health and environment.
