The obtained results indicated that : plant height, number of branches, early fresh yield, total fresh yield, dry seed yield, average weight of 100 seeds, shellout %, protein and phosphorus % in dry seeds were significantly increased when cowpea plants were fertilized with 60 kg P2O5 / fed. and sprayed 3 times with “Greenzit” fertilizer after 30, 45 and 60 days from sowing.
