Recent surge in dry cowpea seed price, grain and fodder demand in Niger Republic has resulted in the search for appropriate cultivars for dry season production for seed, grain, and fodder. However in addition to the common constraints to cowpea production in the wet season, high temperature in th...

Fatty acid composition of extracted oils from 58 lines of cowpea (Vigna unguicuiata (L) Walp) was investigated by gas‐liquid chromatography (GLC). Considerable variability was observed in the fatty acid profile, though palmitic (16:0), linoleic (18:2) and linolenic (18:3) acids were the dominant ...

Aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch) is a major pest of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] particularly in the drier regions of the tropics. It causes direct damage by feeding on the plants and also transmits viruses. Several sources of resistance to cowpea aphid have been identified and efforts are ...

Dahab Elgoz'cowpea fVigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] (Reg. no. CV-208, PI 632419. originally designated as 1T84S-2163) was developed by the International Institute of 'I'ropical Agriculture (ll'I'A) and distributed to various national programs in 1988 for testing and selection of suitable cultivars ...

Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., is an important grain legume grown in tropical and subtropical regions, primarily Africa. The parasitic weed Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke is one of the most important constraints to cowpea production. Host plant resistance is the only practical control ...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) has relatively higher drought tolerance than other legume crops. It is widely grown in semi-arid regions, particularly in West Africa. One objective of the present study was to determine the effects of soil moisture stress on the length, dry matter and distribution of t...

Ten crop species were evaluated for their relative drought tolerance at the seedling stage. Healthy seeds of each crop were planted in wooden boxes of 130 cm length, 65 cm width and 15 cm depth, filled with 3 soil types (river sand, loamy sand and sandy loam) and watered daily. A week after germi...

A simple screening method was developed that accurately discriminates between drought and susceptible cowpea(Vigna unguiculata(L) walp). Wooden boxes (130 cm length. 65cm width. 15cm depth) made of 2.5cm thick planks were lined with polythene sheets, filled with a 12cm layer of soil and sand mixt...

Twelve cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties were planted in wooden boxes of 130 cm length, 65 cm width, and 15 cm depth filled with sand and soil mixture (1:1) at 10 cm row to row and 5 cm plant-to-plant distances. The boxes were watered daily until the unifoliate leaves had fully expanded and th...
