An in vitro growth system was used to determine the virulence of two samples of Striga gesnerioides from Zakpota in southern Benin. Cowpea variety B301, previously considered resistant to all races of S. gesnerioides, was susceptible to both samples of the parasite. Two other cowpea varieties, 58...

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...

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is a major food legume the semi-arid region of Sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, two parasitic weeds, Striga [Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke] and alectra [Alectra vogelii Benth.] have become a major threat to cowpea cultivation in this region. A landrace of co...

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...

Cowpea, an indigenous crop to sub-Saharan Africa, is found mainly in the dry savanna regions along with cereals such as millets and sorghum. Cowpea is grown primarily for human consumption of the grains, which are rich in protein, carbohydrates and contain some minerals. The development and deplo...

Nine cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) breeding lines were grown in 13 experiments under sole crop and intercrop management, with and without insecticide application, in Nigeria. Cowpea was intercropped with cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranz), maize (Zea mays L.) and maize-cassava in the fores...

The parasitic weed, Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke, is a major constraint in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] production semi-arid regions of sub-Sahara Africa. Several sources of resistance have been identified. Of these, B301 has shown complete resistance to Striga across several count...

The effects of different levels of photoperiod (p; h d-1) and 50 ppm gibberellic acid (GA3) were studied on the vegetative growth, phenology and yield of a selected, unimproved but popular cowpea variety Kanannado. The different photoperiods used were 10, <12.5, >12.5 and 14 h d-1 . The GA3 was f...
