A number of recent studies have added further information on the genetics of important traits in cowpea. These include inheritance of qualitative traits such as plant pigmentation; flower colour, seed colour, seed coat texture, resistance to rust, scab, smut, nematode, severe mosaic virus, Striga...

Success in breeding for cowpea with drought tolerance has not been as pronounced as for many other traits. This is partly due to lack of simple, cheap, and reliable screening methods to select drought-tolerant plants and progenies from the segre gating populations and partly due to the complexity...

Most of the farmers in the dry savannas of West Africa 'plant local varieties of cowpea, millet, sorghum, and groundnut in various intercropping systems with little or no purchased inputs. In this system, the cowpea and groundnut yields are low due to shading by cereals and lack of plant protecti...

Considerable progress has been made in breeding improved cowpea varieties in the last five years. The major breeding objectives were to develop high yielding cowpea varieties for sole cropping as well as intercropping with acceptable seed types and resistance to major diseases, insect pests, nema...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) [L.] Walp.) is a major component of the traditional cropping systems in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America where it is widely grown in mixtures with other crops in various combinations. The productivity of cowpea in these mixtures is low, mainly due to low plan...

Two parasitic fl owering plants, Striga gesnerioides (Wild.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii (Benth.), cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea in the dry savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. Alectra is more prevalent in the northern Guinea savanna and southern Sudan savanna of West Africa, as well as in...

The research reported here has the potential for contributing to a real improvement in the livelihoods of mixed crop-livestock farming households in the dry savannah zone of West Africa through widespread uptake of improved dual-purpose cowpea (IDPC). This technology offers opportunities for the ...

Assessment of adoption and impact in the dry savannah of West Africa]Genetically improved dual-purpose cowpea. Assessment of adoption and impact in the dry savannah of West Africa

The potential impact and return to investment from introducing improved dualpurpose cowpea for food and fodder in northern Nigeria was investigated using a combination of farmers' workshops and village and household level surveys. Out of the 462 households surveyed, 41 % were adopters, 9% had bee...
