| Abstract: | A field study designed to investigate the S-nutrition of cowpea in the rainforest and savannah zones of Nigeria showed that S-fertilization significantly increased seed yield in the savannah and in the old forest field, whereas yield was not significantly influenced in the newly opened rainforest field. Application of 10 kg/ha was an adequate S-rate for cowpea production in the two zones. Application of S-significantly increased S content and protein yield in both old and new fields in the two zones. |
