Ten crop species were evaluated for their relative drought tolerance at the seedling stage. Healthy seeds of each crop were planted in wooden boxes of 130 cm length, 65 cm width and 15 cm depth, filled with 3 soil types (river sand, loamy sand and sandy loam) and watered daily. A week after germi...

A simple screening method was developed that accurately discriminates between drought and susceptible cowpea(Vigna unguiculata(L) walp). Wooden boxes (130 cm length. 65cm width. 15cm depth) made of 2.5cm thick planks were lined with polythene sheets, filled with a 12cm layer of soil and sand mixt...

Twelve cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties were planted in wooden boxes of 130 cm length, 65 cm width, and 15 cm depth filled with sand and soil mixture (1:1) at 10 cm row to row and 5 cm plant-to-plant distances. The boxes were watered daily until the unifoliate leaves had fully expanded and th...

This study was undertaken to elucidate the nature of inheritance of the two types of drought tolerance in cowpea {Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp} so that the drought tolerant can be effectively used in breeding programme. Three cowpea lines viz TVu 11986 willi ‘Type l' drought tolerance, Dan IIa wit...
