A cropping system trial involving 2 spray treatments, 2 cowpea varieties, and 9 cowpea–cereals cropping patterns involving two cereals was conducted in 1999 and 2000 cropping seasons in Minjibir. The systems involved different row to row combinations of cowpea and millet or sorghum. Selec...

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 ...

Food production in West Africa has not been keeping pace with the population growth because the bulk of the agriculture in this region is still based on traditional inter-cropping systems with little or no application of fertilizers and chemicals. The average use of fertilizers in West Africa is ...
