Abstract
Traditional cowpea cultivars are conserved in the Juruá Valley (Acre) by farmers who adopt a "beach" production system, in lowland areas on the banks of the Juruá River and tributaries. Cowpea inoculation is a sustainable and low-cost technique that has provided an increase in the growth and productivity of the crop, but that has not yet been tested in this production system. The objective of this work was to evaluate the development and production of cowpea inoculated with Bradyrhizobium strains in a traditional cultivation system in Southwestern Amazonia. A randomized block design with three replications and four treatments was used: seeds inoculated with strains BR 1808, BR 3262, and BR 3267, and a control without inoculation. Inoculation provided an increase in the majority of the studied variables. The productivity obtained in the treatments with BR 3262 and BR 1808 was superior to the other treatments. The strain BR 3262 showed higher levels of total chlorophyll and nitrogen. Inoculation with Bradyrhizobium proved to be a promising technology for the cultivation of cowpea beans in lowland soils of the Juruá River.
期刊介绍:
Traditional knowledge" is employed to mean knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional life-styles; the wisdom developed over many generations of holistic traditional scientific utilization of the lands, natural resources, and environment. It is generally passed down by word of mouth, from generation to generation and is, for the most part, undocumented. Traditional knowledge is valid and necessary, and awaits its currently relevant wider application for human benefit. National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources, CSIR felt a need to document the recent developments and the information bygone in this area in the form of an interdisciplinary periodical.
The Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge will carry original research papers, review articles, short communications, etc. concerned with the observation and experimental investigation of the biological activities of the materials from plants, animals and minerals, used in the traditional health-care systems such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Yoga, Unani, Naturopathy, Homoeopathy, Folk-remedies, etc. As validation of indigenous claims it will cover Ethno-biology, Ethno-medicine, Ethno-pharmacology, Ethno-pharmacognosy & Clinical Studies on efficacy .
