This study evaluated the symbiotic effectiveness and economic evaluation of Rhizobium inoculants with the objective of recommending the most effective inoculant strain for soybean and cowpea production in Northern Ghana. Field experiments were established in three locations using randomized compl...

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 ...
Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a polyphagous insect pest that feeds on a variety of leguminous plantsin the tropics and subtropics. The contribution of host-associated genetic variation on population structure wasinvestigated using analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidas...

The brown pod-sucking bug, Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stäl (Hemiptera: Coreidae), causes significant damage to cultivated cowpea, Vigna unguiculata Walp, a staple crop in sub-Saharan Africa. C. tomentosicollis pierce and suck sap from cowpea pods, resulting in reduced grain yield and quality. Th...

Cowpea covers the largest area of any grain legume in Africa and is especially important in West Africa where Nigeria and Niger alone account for over 75% of the total cowpea production in the world. Despite successes of international and national cowpea improvement research in the development an...

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 ...
