The development of resistant crop varieties depends on the reliability of the method of screening for resistance. One of the techniques widely used in evaluating field resistance is the field screening method. However, most cowpea varieties regarded as having field resistance are often found to b...

Sources of resistance to cowpea bacterial blight disease in Nigeria
Seed transmission of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vignicola was investigated to ascertain the importance of seed as a primary source of inoculum for bacterial blight disease in cowpea. The study was carried out using seeds of five cowpea varieties (TVx 12349, IT86D-721, IT82D-889, Ife Brown and TVx...
Field and laboratory experiments were conducted in the Sudan savanna site of IITA's experimental Station, Minjibir, Kano State, to study the survival of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vignicola in infested soil, cowpea seed, and debris. The experiment was conducted in a randomised complete block desi...
