Plant architecture and N fertilizer may limit the performance of intercropped maize (Zea mays L.) and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walpers] cultivars. This paper describes an experiment in which cultivars of maize and cowpea were intercropped and fertilized with varying rates of N. The cowpea c...

Current strategies to control insect pest problems in cowpea include, on the preventive side, host plant resistance and conservation biological control. Because very often these management options alone cannot provide adequate control, curative measures need to be taken, which include augmentativ...

Insect pests often develop resistance to insecticides, and such resistance represents a serious management problem. Devising methods that concurrently delay resistance and minimize injury by insects to field crops and stored grain has long been a goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). A center...

Cowpea farming practices have been ongoing for millennia and have always faced various challenges including diseases, insects, and weeds, that lower its yield to no more than 200 kg/ha. This economically and nutritionally important crop has been a major research focus of the International Institu...

Synthetic sex pheromone traps for the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), effectively attracted males in cowpea fields at Cotonou (lat. 6°25' N) in southern Benin, where pest incidence is observed throughout the year. However, the same pheromone lures caught ver...

In six replicated field trials during a 3-year period the incidence of cowpea wet stem rot caused by Pythium aphanidermatum was significantly greater in plots treated with benzimidazole (BZ) fungicides than in plots treated with non-BZ fungicides and nontreated plots. In laboratory studies, the g...

The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and its research-for-development partners have made substantial contributions to food security, poverty reduction and environmental protection in sub-Saharan Africa. Technologies developed and largely diffused include high yielding variet...
