Abstract
Field experiment was conducted in the fields of Salamia village, south-east of Mosul , during the autumn season of 2006 , to study the response of growth and yield of green pods of cowpea Vigna sinensis L and its components - local cultivar - for certain types of foliar fertilizers, and its effect in improving the quality and quantity of cowpea plant, which included spraying five types of fertilizers nominated Nahrin fertilizer 3000 mg / L, Speedy Growth at concentration of 2000 mg / L, Ferti Plant A at conc. of 1000 mg / L, Ferti Plant B at conc. of 1000 mg / L and Grow More at conc. of 500 mg / L and control treatment (without spraying) . these fertilizers contain NPK elements in addition to some micro-elements with different proportions , depending on the type of fertilizer, sprayed four times at weekly intervals between starting from the begging of blossom in 1st September 2006 . and the experimental design used was RCBD . Results revealed significant superiority of Grow More fertilizer in components in the vegetative growth which include plant length , number of branches, fresh and dry weight of plant and the percentage of dry material of green pods, as well as the components of green pods yield involving average weight of pod , number of pods / plant, number of seeds / pod, and the yield per plant and the total yield of green pods / unit Area (tons / donum) .
