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...

Agronomic evaluation of cowpea cultivars developed for the West African Savannas
The average productivity of cowpea in the existing traditional systems is low due to a complex of biotic
and abiotic stresses. The biotic factors include insect pests, parasitic plants, and viral, fungal and
bacterial diseases. Concerted efforts are being made to develop improved cowpea varieties...

Field evaluation of improved cowpea lines for resistance to bacterial blight, virus and striga under natural infestation in the West African savannas
Insect pests are major constraint to cowpea production in northern Nigeria causing yield losses up to 70%. Several cowpea varieties have been developed and delivered to farmers by IITA over the past four decades. These varieties have varying degrees of resistance to insect pest attacks. A field s...
