Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is a major food legume the semi-arid region of Sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, two parasitic weeds, Striga [Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke] and alectra [Alectra vogelii Benth.] have become a major threat to cowpea cultivation in this region. A landrace of co...

Independent inheritance of Striga and Alectra resistance in cowpea genotype B301
Two parasitic weeds, Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii Benth., cause heavy yield losses in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) throughout the semiarid regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Several sources of resistance have been identified, including B 301, a landrace from Botswan...

Inheritance of Alectra resistance in cowpea in genotype B 301
The parasitic weeds Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelli (Benth.) cause considerable demage to cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] in the semiarid regions of Africa. Systematic screening has revealed few cowpea varieties to be resistant. Of these, B 301 is resistant to both st...
