Cassava (manioc, yuca, or mandioca; Manihot esculenta Crantz, Euphorbiaceae) is an important cash crop and food crop of resource-limited farmers in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The storage roots are utilised either fresh, as in the case of sweet cultivars low in cyanogenic g...

Maize (Zea mays) is an important crop for food, feed, and agroindustrial raw material produced primarily in the savannah but also in other agroecologies of West and Central Africa (WCA). Maize production in the savannah has been constrained by cultivation of inappropriate varieties, biotic and ab...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.| Wulp.) is primarily grown in dry regions in the tropics, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Drought is important among several yield-reducing factors. Nine hundred cowpea accessions from the Genetic Resources Unit of IITA were evaluated for drought tolerance in a f...

The importance of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, in human and animal nutrition and sustainability of soil fertility are recognized globally especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where the crop is mainly produced in the Savanna and the Sahelian agro ecologies. However, cowpea productivity is adversel...
