ABSTRACT Eucalyptus spp. wood ash, as fertilizer, can be used for agriculture sustainability and the mitigation of production costs especially among small farmers who grow cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.). The objective was to evaluate effects of fertilizers, mineral, organic (wood ash), and organomineral (organic+mineral) combined with base saturations of 30 or 60%, on growth and development of cowpea. Use of wood ash, alone and combined with mineral fertilizer, corrected soil acidity upward and increased shoot growth, nodule numbers, and water use efficiency. Wood ash may be an alternative fertilizer in cowpea production.
