Current strategies to control insect pest problems in cowpea include, on the preventive side, host plant resistance and conservation biological control. Because very often these management options alone cannot provide adequate control, curative measures need to be taken, which include augmentativ...

The Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage (PICS) technology has been disseminated in 30,896 villages in 10different countries in West and Central Africa from 2007 to 2012. Extension and supply chain devel-opment efforts were required to make the PICS technology available to millions of farmers and other...

On-farm augmentative releases of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Say) for controlling the millet head miner (MHM) Heliocheilus albipunctella (de Joannis) were tested in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger from 2007 to 2009. In addition, a survey of farmers’ perceptions of insect pests, with particul...

Insect pests often develop resistance to insecticides, and such resistance represents a serious management problem. Devising methods that concurrently delay resistance and minimize injury by insects to field crops and stored grain has long been a goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). A center...

Wecreated a detailed model of the Maruca vitrata (F.) and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata
(L.) Walp] system to study the possible evolution of resistance by the insect to transgenic insecticidal
cowpea, which is under development. We focused on population dynamics and genetics in a region
of west Afric...
