Factors affecting cowpea growth in millet/cowpea intercropping were investigated in northern Nigeria. Ecological studies showed that cowpea received from < 30% to > 75% of incident light inside the intercropped canopy. In these light-limited conditions, cowpea varieties with a spreading growth ha...

Agrophysiological constarints in intercropped cowpea: an analysis
The production of cowpea in Africa and America is reviewed briefly. In traditional cropping systems in West Africa, a diversity of both systems and varieties is observed. The contribution of cowpea to overall productivity is small (on average about a tenth of grain yields, averaging 1.5 l/ha), an...
The imponance of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is underscored by its use as a component in many cropping system combinations in Africa, Asia, and tropical America. Cropping systems research over the past decade has served as a multidisciplinary approach to examine the biological superiori...
