Improved varieties have agronomic advantages over local varieties,but not much attention has been given to understand the nutritional content of the improved cowpea varieties released in Swaziland. This study investigated the physical and nutritional properties of improved cowpea varieties releas...

Walp) for food security: an evaluation of end-user traits of improved varieties in Swaziland

Two resistance screening assays were developed for evaluating cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp resistance to the legume pod borer (MPB), Maruca testulalis Geyer, one of the most intractable pest problems of this important food crop. The first assay, the dual-choice arena test (DCAT), provided a...

Three insect groups, known from the literature, were confirmed to make up a seed pest complex in cowpea fields in Benin Republic (West Africa). Several species of heteropteran pod‐sucking bugs (PSBs), two lepidopteran species, namely Maruca testulalis (Geyer) and Cydia ptyehora (Meyrick) and the ...

The climate of the West African Sudan savannah (annual rainfall of 600–900 mm and a monomodal rainy season of 3–4 months) is characterized by frequent long- and short-term droughts. Crop growth in the Alfisols and associated soil groups is further constrained by soil compaction, low soil fertilit...

Reports the findings of a mission carried out by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Zimbabwe to gather genetic resources of cowpea, rice, bambarra groundnut and their wild relatives. 461 samples of 365 species were collected. Sampling was made over 140 sites of both natural ve...

The effect of alley cropping with seven combinations of Acioa and Leucaena hedgerows and a control (no hedgerow) treatment on sequentially cropped maize and cowpea was studied in 1985 and 1986. The trial was carried out on an Alfisol in the humid zone of southwestern Nigeria. Hedgerows were estab...
