Abstract: Genotypes and phosphorus levels of other legume crops were also studied and included in the review. It has been seen that plant height of cowpea increased with application of 40 kg P₂O₅/ha and 90kg P₂O₅/ha. 40 kg P₂O₅/ha and 80 kg P₂O₅/ha recorded significant increased on number of branches per plant. Number of leaves per plant, dry matter accumulation and days to first flowering is enhanced by 90kg P₂O₅/ha, 60 kg P₂O₅/ha and 40 kg P₂O₅/ha respectively. However cowpea different yield attributes are influenced by 75 kg P₂O₅/ha, 60 kg P₂O₅/ha, 50 kg P₂O₅/ha, 60 kg P₂O₅/ha, 70 kg P₂O₅/ha, 80 kg P₂O₅/ha and 30 kg P₂O₅/ha with substantial increase in the growth of different parameters respectively. Hence, application of phosphorus equally influences the growth and yield components of cowpea genotypes.
