Food insecurity has become a key issue in the field of development in recent years with major inadequate intake of vitamin A-rich foods. Specifically, vitamin A deficiency (VAD) remains a major health problem among poor developing-country households, especially in Africa. Efforts to combat VAD cu...

Factors affecting cowpea growth in millet/cowpea intercropping were investigated in northern Nigeria. Ecological studies showed that cowpea received from < 30% to > 75% of incident light inside the intercropped canopy. In these light-limited conditions, cowpea varieties with a spreading growth ha...

The genus Vigna comprises seven subgenera and sixteen sections. Cowpea, Vigna tingnicnlatti (L.) Walp.. is an important grain legume crop in sub-Saharan Africa and belongs to the subgenus Vigna. section Ctitiang. Morphologically, cowpea genotypes appear very variable. However, a high level of gen...

The production of cowpea in Africa and America is reviewed briefly. In traditional cropping systems in West Africa, a diversity of both systems and varieties is observed. The contribution of cowpea to overall productivity is small (on average about a tenth of grain yields, averaging 1.5 l/ha), an...

The imponance of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is underscored by its use as a component in many cropping system combinations in Africa, Asia, and tropical America. Cropping systems research over the past decade has served as a multidisciplinary approach to examine the biological superiori...
