- Abstract
Background: The study was carried out to determine the duration of drought and salinity level on growth, green matter yield and nutrient content in cowpea bean plants. Methods: The experiment was arranged in a 2-factor factorial style, including (A) three drought levels: (i) 07 days of watering, (ii) 14 days of irrigation and (iii) 21 days of watering cessation; factor (B) three salinity levels including (i) saline irrigation 2‰, (ii) saline irrigation 4‰ and (iii) saline irrigation 6‰. Each treatment has five replicates. Result: Experimental results showed that stopping irrigation of cowpea bean plants for 14 and 21 days reduced height, SPAD index, stomatal opening, DM, CP and ash content, compared to stopping watering for seven days. It reduced the yield of green matter and the nitrogen content in the plant. Besides, increasing salinity irrigation concentration at four and 6‰ declined the height, SPAD index, stomatal opening, DM, EE and CP of cowpea bean. The green matter yield and nitrogen content in the plants also decreased when irrigated with salinity 6‰.
