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.
