Abstract: Cowpea was planted and applied with coir organic fertilizer,bio-mixed active fertilizer and compound fertilizer as a basal fertilizer to study the effects of the application rates of the basal fertilizer on soil fertility and cowpea pod quality and yield. The results showed that the coir organic fertilizer had a better effect on the improvement of soil fertility and that the application of the coir organic fertilizer especially at the rate of 14 285. 71kg·hm-2( B2) increased the contents of soil organic matter,total nitrogen,available phosphorus and available potassium and the p H value to some extents,which were significantly different as compared to those of the control( CK0) before planting and the compound fertilizer treatment( CK). The coir organic fertilizer had better effect than the compound fertilizer and biological enzyme activity,and produced the highest yield at the application rate of 9 523. 81kg·hm-2( B1),followed by the B2. There was no significant difference in cowpea yield between B1 and B2. Cowpea treated with B2 exhibited the best overall pod nutritional quality.
