A summary on bean improvement activities carried out by CIAT in the Great Lakes Region is presented. Collaboration in bean breeding among Rwanda, Burundi, and Zaire has resulted in an integrated scheme of var. evaluation. The nucleus of this scheme is the PRELAAC (Pepiniere Regionale pour l`Evalu...
Pests and diseases are among the main reasons for low banana productivity in smallholder farming systems in the central African highlands, where the crop is an important staple, In parts of Rwanda, Burundi and North and South Kivu provinces of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, diseases such a...

Adoption and impact of tissue culture bananas in Burundi: an application of a propensity score matching approach
The population dynamics of major cowpea pests was studied in northern Nigeria during 1992-95 in both the wet and dry seasons. Rainfall cowpea is grown as a subsistence crop, mixed at low densities with cereals. Dry-season cowpea is irrigated or grown on residual moisture in monocultures as a cash...

Population dynamics and migration of cowpea pests in northern Nigeria: implications for integrated pest management
Cowpea is an important grain legume throughout the tropics and subtropics, covering Asia, Africa, and Central and South America, as well as parts of southern Europe and the United States of America. The use patterns, seed preferences, and cropping systems vary from region to region. Insect pests,...
The use of cowpea haulms as fodder is attractive in mixed crop/livestock systems where both grain and fodder can be obtained from the same crop. Traditional farming systems which use the haulms as fodder in Asia, Australia, Africa, and other regions are reviewed. ILRI and I1TA have undertaken joi...
Several applications of biotechnology have been successfully used recently in cowpea. A molecular map of cowpea has been constructed using RFLP markers, and this has already facilitated the localization of certain quantitative trait loci; gene chromosome localization using in situ hybridization i...
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...
Biological control, as a key component of biointensive IPM in cowpea, is evaluated for its practical feasibility. The case study of one of the major insect pests, the bean flower thrips Megalumthrips sjosredti (Trybom) (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), is used to indicate the most important criteria for...
