Effects of pendimethalin on pod attributes of five elite accessions of cowpea

A field study on the effects of pre- and post-emergence application herbicide (pendimethalin) reproductive yield five accessions cowpea (TVu-9092, TVu-16265, TVu-16320, TVu-16323 TVu-16421) was conducted between June August, 2018. Pendimethalin applied both as early (PE EPOE) followed by hand weeding at 4 8 weeks after sowing (WAS). Number pods per plant highest in TVu-9092 treated with 0.125 kg/ha PE pendimethalin (19.33) 0.250 EPOE (19.00). Highest pod diameter treatment produced TVu-16320 0.25 (7.55 mm) (7.74 treatment. length kg/ha, while without (30.00 cm) In treatment, TVu-16265 had (2.99 g) lowest empty weights (1.70 respectively. weight (3.01 control recorded (2.03 g). The 100 seeds (14.91 TVu-16421 (9.26 obtained untreated TVu-16323. (8.88 kg/ha. (10.47 g), (3.22 application. concluded that low high concentrations varying attributes among cowpea.
