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...

Cowpea is a widely cultivated and major nutritional source of protein for many people that live in West Africa. Annual yields and longevity of grain storage is greatly reduced by feeding damage caused by a complex of insect pests that include the pod sucking bugs, Anoplocnemis curvipes Fabricius ...
