| Abstract | The study was conducted to evaluate six varieties of cowpea for higher fodder and dry matter yield under rainfed conditions at National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad during 2006. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications, keeping plot size of 1.8x6m. Cowpea was sown in first week of July 2006 in the pattern of 60 cm apart in rows. The parameters determined were plant height, number of branches per plant, leaf area, number of leaves per branch, green fodder yield and dry matter yield at 5% pod formation. Results revealed that the variety CP/V-2 produced significantly taller plants, highest leaf area, number of leaves, green fodder and dry matter yield. The highest green fodder and dry matter yield of 28.15 and 8.10 t ha -1 respectively were obtained in the variety CP/V-2. Therefore CP/V-2 is recommended for obtaining optimum forage production under rainfed conditions of Pothowar region. |
