Abstract
SUMMARY Effects of fertilizers on harvest time and yield of cowpeas were studied on upland soils in Sierra Leone. In a 2 5 confounded factorial trial, on soil which had been cropped successively with 2 years of Smooth Cayenne pineapples and 14 months of cassava, the treatments did not affect harvest time significantly, but N, P and NP Mg produced very favourable effects on grain yields. In a randomized complete block experiment on soil previously cropped with two successive cassava crops, there was a significant difference in total yield of dry pods between the control and most treatments.
