A field experiment was conducted during the two summer seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Sakha Agricultural Research Station Farm, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt on cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) cv. Kafr El-Sheikh to study the impact of organic and inorganic fertilizers and foliar spray with K, Ca and B and their interactions on vegetative parameters, seed yield and leaf chemical composition as well as protein content and seeds germination percentage. Results indicated that, the highest values of vegetative growth parameters i.e., plant height (cm), No. of branches/plant, plant fresh and dry weights and chemical composition of leaves (N, P, K, Ca and B), as well as the percentage of protein and germination seeds were recorded by fertilized plants with 50% mineral + 50% organic (compost). Cowpea plants were sprayed with 1cm/l potassium sulfate showed better growth performance, higher values of chemical constituents especially N, P and K in leaves than unsprayed plants. Also, the best results on most growth parameters, leaves chemical constituents were resulted when plants were fertilized by 50% mineral as ammonium nitrate (50 kg/fed.) + 50% organic as compost (1.2 or1.3ton/fed.) and sprayed with potassium sulfate at 1cm/l. Therefore, this treatment could be recommended for improving cowpea plants performance under similar condition of this study.","PeriodicalId":346845,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Agriculture Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129765673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 18 selected families were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications during summer 2017 at the Experimental Station Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Alexandria University; at Abies, Alex, A.R.E. Observations that recorded on ten characters reflected considerable variability. The results indicated, also, that the all 18 selected families, that obtained after three cycles of individual plant selection; varied in their horticultural characteristics, and exhibited highly significant differences, with desirable effect, for all studied characters. Moreover, the mean performances showed uniform plants within each family; and a clear indication of agronomic superiority of some families over others, as well as, over the original population also was recorded. Mean values were used to determine characters’ phenotypic and genotypic variances, phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation, broad sense heritability and genetic advance. Clear narrow range of different between PCV and GCV was observed for six characters from ten studied characters; plant height, internode length, branches number per plant, pod diameter, total pods number per plant and total pods weight per plant. High heritability along with high genetic advance as percent of the mean were obtained for total yield per plant, pods number per plant, branches number per plant, internode length and plant height revealing the importance of additive gene action in the inheritance of these characters and suggested reliable okra improvement through selection of these traits.","PeriodicalId":346845,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Agriculture Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130357898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
