Conteúdo:	his work aimed to evaluate the use of phosphorus (P) fertilizer, rhizobia inoculation, and seed enrichment with molybdenum (Mo) as tools for enhancing the cowpea yield in the Brazilian eastern Amazon. A set of field and greenhouse experiments were carried out in cerrado and upland forest environments. Four levels of P fertilization, eight rhizobia strains, and the application of mineral nitrogen (N) were evaluated for the cultivar BRS Tumucumaque (BR = Brasil e S = Sementes), and two levels of Mo seed enrichment were assessed for the cultivars BRS Tumucumaque and BRS Guariba. Grain yield increased linearly with the level of P applied. Inoculation with the rhizobia strain BR 3267 increased the shoot and nodule mass of the cultivar BRS Tumucumaque. There was no difference in grain yield and grain N accumulation between inoculation with seven rhizobia strains, N mineral fertilization and the control (without inoculation and N fertilization) in cerrado and upland forest environments. Cowpea grain yield and grain N accumulation were higher in the cerrado than in the upland forest environment and when the seeds were enriched with Mo. Phosphorus fertilization and seed enrichment with Mo are efficient tools to enhance cowpea yield in the Brazilian Amazon.
