Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata spp unguiculata) is adapted to the drier agro-ecological zones of West Africa where it is a major source of dietary protein and widely used as a fodder crop. Improving the productivity of cowpea can enhance food availability and security in West Africa. Insect predation ...

The larval parasitoid guild of the cowpea pod borer Maruca vitrata was studied on wild and cultivated host plants in Southern and Central Benin, West Africa. A total of eight parasitoids, seven of which belonging to the Hymenoptera: Braconidae, and one to the Diptera: Tachinidae, were observed ex...

The effect of host plant resistance on growth and developmental parameters of the bean flower thrips Megalurothrips sjostedti Trybom was determined on nine cowpea (Vigna unguiculata {L.}Walp.) cultivars under laboratory conditions. Newly emerged adults M. sjostedti were confined on peduncles with...
