Recent surge in dry cowpea seed price, grain and fodder demand in Niger Republic has resulted in the search for appropriate cultivars for dry season production for seed, grain, and fodder. However in addition to the common constraints to cowpea production in the wet season, high temperature in th...

A trial was conducted in minjibir in the sudan savanna zone of Nigeria to evaluate the performance of common grain leguminous crops in the area. Significant differences are found among and within the grain legumes for days to flowering, maturity and ripening. Cowpea had significantly fewer days t...

Striga gesnerioides (Willd) Vatke, is a major destructive parasitic weed of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) which causes substantial yield reduction in West and Central Africa. The presence of different virulent races within the parasite population contributes to significant genotype × envi...
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is the most important grain legume in the dry savannas of West Africa, however grain and fodder yields are low (averaging 25 to 300 kg and 450 to 800 kg grain and fodder/ha, respectively) due to biotic and abiotic constraints. Improved varieties and cropping ...
