A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season of 2020-21 at the Campus for Research and Advanced Studies, Dhablan of the GSSDGS Khalsa College Patiala, Punjab. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with 13 different treatments with 3 replications. Different organic and bio-fertilization significantly influenced the growth, yield parameters and yield of cowpea crop. Among all the treatments, application of 3 t Poultry manure ha^-1 + Rhizobium (Seed treatment) + 0.5 t Neem cake ha^-1 fb 3% Panchagavya solution was superior over rest of the treatments in terms of growth parameters and for obtaining maximum seed yield (19.86 q ha^-1), straw yield (53.25 q ha^-1), biological yield (73.11 q ha^-1) and harvest index (27.16%). Thus, the results of the experiment revealed the cowpea crop responded positively to combined application of organic manures, panchagavya solution and Rhizobium in terms of growth as well parameters and yield.
