Diffusion of improved technologies among small-scale farmers, especially where formal methods and market mechanisms are inefficient, can be enhanced through the participation of farmers. Unfortunately, formal methods of disseminating improved seed in most African countries have not taken advantag...

The bioactivity of water and methanol extracts of Alstonia booneii stem bark against Maruca vitrata Fabricius, was studied in the laboratory through a bioassay. When incorporated into the artificial diet at 0.0% (control), 1.0%, 2.5 %, 5.0 %, and 10.0 % concentrations, respectively, both extrac...

Seed coat texture is an important trait in determining the acceptability of cowpea varieties in different regions. A rough seed coat is preferred in western and central Africa, since it permits easy removal of the seed coat which is essential for indigenous food preparations. On the other hand, a...

Field surveys were conducted on cowpea and pigeon pea in 1995 and 1996 to assess the effect of indigenous egg parasitoids on populations of Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stål in northern Nigeria. From the egg masses of C. tomentosicollis, three species of Hymenoptera belonging to three families, na...

The insecticidal activity of neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss., was tested on two major cowpea pests using different concentrations of aqueous extracts, and powders of both neem seed and kernel. The pests were larvae of Maruca testulalis Geyer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), the legume pod borer and Cl...

The feeding activity of Aphis craccivora (Koch) was monitored on cowpea plants of aphid‐susceptible (Vita 7) and aphid‐resistant (TVu 801) cultivars, using an AC electronic feeding monitoring system. Waveforms corresponding to salivation, phloem ingestion and non‐phloem ingestion were observed. A...

Twelve cowpea cultivars were screened for reactions to infection by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and C. truncatum, causal agents of anthracnose and brown blotch diseases, respectively. Three different inoculation techniques were used: spraying a spore suspension on leaves of seedlings, injecting...

The effects of two diets, i.e., cowpea leaves plus Megalurothrips sjostedti larvae versus cowpea leaves alone, on nymphal development and mortality of Orius albidipennis were studied under controlled laboratory conditions in Benin, West Africa. Nymphal development was longer when O. albidipennis ...

Virus diseases cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) production in West and Central Africa. Improved cowpea cultivars have been developed and distributed to various national programs but these cultivars were tested only against local virus isolates. To identif...
