Cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is an important source of food and fodder in the dry savanna of West Africa. Traditional cowpea varieties are photosensitive (PS), growing profusely when planted in long days and they flower when days become shorter. However, we have observed that all PS cow...

Le niebe [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] est une importante source de nutriture et de fourage dans la savanne seche de l' Afrique de l'Ouest. Les varietes traditionnelles de vigna sont photosensibles, poussant exuberamment quand elles sont plantees en jours longs et elles flourissent quand les jou...

Two cowpea varieties Kanannado and IAR-1696 both of which are purple pigmented on the nodal region of their main stem, base of tertiary branches, base of the stalk of the trifoliate and base of peduncle were crossed to two other varieties, IT93K-693-2 and IT87D-941-1. These two varieties are comp...

Time to flowering and maturity is an important adaptive feature in annual crops, including cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.). In West and Central Africa, photoperiod is the most important environmental variable affecting time to flowering in cowpea. The inheritance of time from sowing to flo...

Seed coat texture is an important trait in determining the acceptability of cowpea varieties in different regions. A rough seed coat is preferred in western and central Africa, since it permits easy removal of the seed coat which is essential for indigenous food preparations. On the other hand, a...

The parasitic flowering plants Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii (Benth.) are formidable cowpea production constraints in the West and Central African savanna. The two parasites cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea in the dry savannas. A field study was conducted to sc...

The legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata, is an endemic insect pest that causes significant yield loss to the cowpea crop in West Africa. The application of population genetic tools is important in the management of insect pests but such data on M. vitrata is lacking. We applied a set of six microsat...
