Cowpea is seed propagated and when mature seeds are properly dried they could remain viable over a period of time depending on the genotype and storage conditions. Due to heat and dry conditions seeds of cultivated cowpea that remain in the fields after harvest usually do not retain viability for...

The challenges and potential options for controlling virus diseases of legumes and tuber crops in West Africa
Cowpea, an indigenous crop to sub-Saharan Africa, is found mainly in the dry savanna regions along with cereals such as millets and sorghum. Cowpea is grown primarily for human consumption of the grains, which are rich in protein, carbohydrates and contain some minerals. The development and deplo...
