Effect of different phosphorus rate combined to rhizobium biofertilizers on Bambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt] productivity in Benin
Abstract
Rhizobial inoculation and phosphorus supplementation could be an alternative means of supplying important nutrients in legumes crops for their higher yields. This study was carried out to determine the optimal rate of phosphorus in combination with Rhizobium for Bambara groundnut improvement. Experiments were carried out in Northen Benin and in Central Benin. Five levels of phosphorus (0 kg, 20 kg, 40 kg, 60 kg and 80 P ha-1) and two levels of inoculation (inoculation with Rhizobium strain and no inoculation) were arranged in Randomized Complete Block design repeated five times. Results showed that inoculated treatments were significantly higher than non-inoculated treatment. Phosphorus supplementation significantly influenced the nodulation, shoot and root dry weight, straw and grain yield and nitrogen uptake of Bambara groundnut in both areas. The inoculation combined with the 60 or 80 kg ha-1 rate of phosphorus induced a 62% and 46% increase in grain and straw yield in the Centre and 78% and 58% increase in straw yield compared to the yields obtained on control in northern Benin. N uptake varied from 12.26 to 60.28 kg N ha-1 in the Centre and from 13.99 to 61.2 kg N ha-1 in the northern Benin. No significant difference was not found between the treatments combined inoculation and application of 60 or 80 kg ha-1 of phosphorus. So, application of 60 kg ha-1 of phosphorus fertilizer combined to inoculation with a suitable Rhizobia strain could be considered as an alternative by small farmers for increasing productivity of Bambara groundnut.
