Grain yields of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] in the Nigerian savannas are low even with the cultivation of improved varieties. The recommended spacing for cowpea is 75 × 20 cm with two seeds planted per stand. This corresponds to plant population of 133333 plants ha−1, which may not be s...

Effects of plant density on the performance of cowpea in Nigerian Savannas
Soybean (Glycine max) is a major cash crop in the savannas of Nigeria although productivity is typically constrained by poor soil fertility. The objective of this research was to determine the interactive effect of N and P on soybean productivity in the northern Guinea and Sudan savannas of north...

The goal of this research was to evaluate diverse cowpea genotypes developed over the past 4 decades in the Nigerian
Sudan Savannas for their agronomic performance and to identify groups of cultivars with similar quantitative characters.
Characterization would facilitate the efficient synthesis o...

Field experiments were conducted in 2005 and 2006 rainy season at the Institute for Agricultural Research farm, Samaru, Nigeria, to test the response of four cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp] varieties to residual effect of four rates of sheep manure (FYM) (0, 5, 10 and 15 t/ha) applied the pre...

A preliminary trial was conducted to determine if there were variabilities in seedling morphology of selected cowpea varieties and determine their heritability with aim that this could be used in future cowpea breeding for selection at seedling stage. The characters studied include hypocotyl, epi...
