The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) are collaborating to develop sex pheromone traps as monitoring tools for Maruca vitrata. The principal component of the pheromone is (E, E)-10, 12-hexadecadienal. Our trapping experiments in cowpe...

Cowpea is seed propagated and when mature seeds are properly dried they could remain viable over a period of time depending on the genotype and storage conditions. Due to heat and dry conditions seeds of cultivated cowpea that remain in the fields after harvest usually do not retain viability for...

The population dynamics of major cowpea pests was studied in northern Nigeria during 1992-95 in both the wet and dry seasons. Rainfall cowpea is grown as a subsistence crop, mixed at low densities with cereals. Dry-season cowpea is irrigated or grown on residual moisture in monocultures as a cash...
