Twelve cowpea cultivars were screened for reactions to infection by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and C. truncatum, causal agents of anthracnose and brown blotch diseases, respectively. Three different inoculation techniques were used: spraying a spore suspension on leaves of seedlings, injecting...

Use of three inoculation methods in screening cowpea genotypes for resistance to two Colletotrichum species
The most damaging storage pest in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is Callosobruchus maculatus (F.), commonly known bruchid. Therefore, concerted efforts are being made at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) to develop bruchid-resistant cowpea varieties. By systematic s...
This study was undertaken to elucidate the nature of inheritance of resistance to bruchids [Callosobruchus maculatus. (F.)] in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.]. The parental F1, F2, and backcross populations involving three resistant and two susceptible parents were bioassayed in the laborat...
