Abstract

A trail on production performance of cowpea genotype received from the Horticulture Research Division, pokhara-5, Malepatan, kaski was carried out at Horticulture farm of campus of live sciences from July 2018 to evaluate cowpea genotype suitable for the dang district of Nepal. Three different cowpea genotypes with four check varieties were tested on Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were obtained on Days of 50% Flowering, Plant Height, Number of branches, Number of Leaves on Plant, Pod Length, Individual Pod Weight, Number of Green Pod per Plant, Number of Seed per Pod, Yield per Plant, Yield per Plot, yield per hectare were obtained. Tested genotypes differed significantly for vegetative as well as yield parameters. According to the result there is highly significance in the pod length between the variety. The Highest pod length was obtained from long yard bean (57.54cm) followed by Malepatan-1(25.11cm) , Prakash (22.78cm), Gajale-bodi(18.36cm), IT04K-227-4(17.65cm), IT86F-2062-5(16.42cm), IT07-298-15(14.34cm). The highest pod weight was found in Long yard bean (19.80g) while lowest from IT07-298-15(3.52g).The highest yield (4.97 t/ha) was recorded from long yard bean followed by Gajale body(4.79 t/ha), Malepatan-1(4.77t/ha),IT04-227-4(3.89t/ha),Prakash(3.88t/ha),IT86F-2062-5(3.58t/ha) and the lowest (2.88t/ha) from IT07K-298-15. Data from economic analysis revealed that long yard bead leads to significant high B: C ratio calculated 1.91 and the lowest 1.10 in IT07K-298-15.Based on the results obtained, Long yard bean genotype gives highest yield and better B/C ratio compare to other genotype in the dang condition.
