Brief mention of research into the infestation of cowpeas by Striga gesnerioides conducted by staff of the Botany Department of the University of Nigeria at Nsukka is followed by more extensive discussion of work on this host-parasite relationship conducted at the Institute of Agricultural Resear...

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 ...

Trypsin inhibitor content was determined in the seeds of 21 cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) lines (10 known to be resistant to Callosobruchus maculatus and 11 susceptible) whilst fatty acid composition was determined in 58 lines (11 resistant and 47 susceptible). A wide range in trypsin inhibitor cont...

Phenolic compounds were analysed in leaf samples from 9 lines known to be resistant or susceptible to aphids (mainly Aphis craccivora but also, to a lesser extent, A. fabae). Resistant lines TVu3000, IT84E and IT83S742 had higher flavonoid glycoside contents than the susceptible lines VITA7, TVu3...

One of the most important constraints in cowpea storage is widespread infestation by the seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.), commonly known as bruchid. In addition to causing direct seed weight loss, it reduces seed quality and also affects germination. The International Institute of Trop...
