Cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) commonly known as "Lobia" is a minor pulse crop of India. Its green pods used for human consumption as vegetable and concentrated feed for cattle. This crop provides heavy vegetative growth and covers the ground so well that it effectively acts as weed smothering crop. A field experiment was carried out in the Annamalai University Experimental Farm, Annamalai nagar to evaluate irrigation scheduling and weed management practices on growth attributes of cowpea during February to May, 2017. Irrigation at 0.8 IW/CPE ratio along with pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 38.7 % CS at 0.70 kg a.i. ha-1 + One hand weeding at 30 DAS excelled other treatments by recording highest plant height, crop dry matter production, leaf area index and seed yield. Results of the field experiment revealed that irrigation at 0.8 IW/CPE ratio combined with pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 38.7 % CS at 0.70 kg a.i. ha-1 + One hand weeding at 30 DAS is an economically viable and efficient practice for enhancing the growth and yield of cowpea.
