Abstract

 THE present work aim to expose Vigna sinensis L. (cowpea) seeds to γ- rays at dose levels 40, 80 and 120Gy and to spray the growing plants with micro elements; boron (B) and zinc (Zn) after one month of planting; until harvest date, for increasing crop quality and quantity. Some physical parameters, some chemical analysis, the yield and net percentage of the produced crop were evaluated. The result obtained refer that, the 40Gy dose enhanced most of physical, chemical and yield parameters of cowpea crop. Moreover, the harvested crop was increased and improved in case of those produced from plants sprayed with different concentrations of B or Zn plus 40 Gy dose as compared with the other treatments used followed by the dose of 80Gy. Meanwhile, the dose of 120Gy gave the least enhancement on the quality and quantity of the aforementioned treatments in cowpea crop.
