Cowpea is important for the provision of both grain for food and fodder for livestock but there is often a trade-off between productions of two. To better understanding influences on grain and fodder production, and how these may be influences on grain and fodder production, and two these may be ...

Agriculture in the dry savannas is intensifying in response to increasing populations of humans and livestock. As a result, increased productivity demands are placed upon integrated crop-livestock systems and more emphasis is on the roles of legumes such as cowpea. Cowpea has the potential to fun...

Seed coat texture is an important trait in determining the acceptability of cowpea varieties in different regions. A rough seed coat is preferred in western and central Africa, since it permits easy removal of the seed coat which is essential for indigenous food preparations. On the other hand, a...

Phosphorus is important for cowpea production in many tropical African soils with inherent low P fertility. Most farmers in Africa, however, do not have access to P fertilizer. Selection of cowpea lines that produce good yield under low soil P or those with high P-use efficiency can be a low inpu...

A number of recent studies have added further information on the genetics of important traits in cowpea. These include inheritance of qualitative traits such as plant pigmentation; flower colour, seed colour, seed coat texture, resistance to rust, scab, smut, nematode, severe mosaic virus, Striga...

Success in breeding for cowpea with drought tolerance has not been as pronounced as for many other traits. This is partly due to lack of simple, cheap, and reliable screening methods to select drought-tolerant plants and progenies from the segre gating populations and partly due to the complexity...

Most of the farmers in the dry savannas of West Africa 'plant local varieties of cowpea, millet, sorghum, and groundnut in various intercropping systems with little or no purchased inputs. In this system, the cowpea and groundnut yields are low due to shading by cereals and lack of plant protecti...

Two parasitic flowering plants, Striga gesnerioides (Wild.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii (Benth.), cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea in the dry savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. Alectra is more prevalent in the northern Guinea savanna and southern Sudan savanna of West Africa, as well as in ...

Considerable progress has been made in breeding improved cowpea varieties in the last five years. The major breeding objectives were to develop high yielding cowpea varieties for sole cropping as well as intercropping with acceptable seed types and resistance to major diseases, insect pests, nema...
