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...

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...

Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., is a major source of dietary protein in sub-Sahara Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Current breeding objectives are disease and insect resistance and high yield potential, but efforts are being made to initiate a selection program to improve protein content a...

Two parasitic weeds, Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii Benth., cause heavy yield losses in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) throughout the semiarid regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Several sources of resistance have been identified, including B 301, a landrace from Botswan...

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...
