Abstract

Inadequate quantity and quality feeds is the major constraints to livestock production in majority of smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. This necessitates the need to follow economically viable forage production. A study was conducted to evaluate the yield and yield related performance of cowpea (Vignia unguiculata L.) varieties under irrigation in 2017 and 2018 years. The experiment was laid down in a split plot design with randomized complete block design (RCBD) arrangement in four replications. There were two main plots of which one was planted with fertilizer and the other one without fertilizer for comparison and the sub plot treatments were eight varieties of Cowpea (Vignia unguiculata) (ILRI 9333, ILRI 9334, ILRI 11114, ILRI 12688, ILRI 12713, Kenkety, Black eye bean and IT92KD258-9). The data collected consisted of plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, forage biomass yield (t ha

豇豆的产量及与产量有关的生产性能埃塞俄比亚中部贡达尔地区不同施肥灌溉试验的品种

饲料数量和质量不足是埃塞俄比亚大多数小农户畜牧生产的主要制约因素。这就需要遵循经济上可行的饲料生产。对2017年和2018年灌溉条件下豇豆品种的产量和产量相关性能进行了评价。实验采用四个重复的随机完全区组设计（RCBD），采用分裂区设计。有两个主小区，一个施肥，另一个不施肥进行比较，子小区处理为8个豇豆品种（ILRI9333、ILRI9334、ILRI11114、ILRI 12688、ILRI12713、Kenkety、黑眼豆和IT92KD258-9）。所收集的数据包括株高（cm）、单株分枝数、牧草生物量产量（t ha＜sup＜-1＜/sup＜）、干物质产量（t ha
