High seed quality is a critical component for realising yield potential. For smallholder cowpea farmers in northern Nigeria the informal seed system is a major supplier of genetically high-quality seed, but the physiological quality of farmers’ produced seed remains unknown. The project “Promotin...

Are investments in an informal seed system for cowpea a worthwhile endeavour?
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a major tropical legume crop grown in warm to hot areas throughout the world and especially important to the people of sub-Saharan Africa where the crop was domesticated. To date, relatively little is understood about its domestication origins and patterns...

Sharing of responsibilities of cowpea and wild relative long term conservation
Hybrid development is enhanced by the assessment and understanding of genetic diversity and distance within inbreds. One hundred and fifty hybrids derived from 30 early-maturing inbreds plus six checks were evaluated at three locations in Nigeria for 2 years to assess their performance under drou...
