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...

Cowpea is a widely cultivated and major nutritional source of protein for many people that live in West Africa. Annual yields and longevity of grain storage is greatly reduced by feeding damage caused by a complex of insect pests that include the pod sucking bugs, Anoplocnemis curvipes Fabricius ...
