IITA’s Genetic Resources Center (GRC) maintains over 15,000 accessions of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) and wild Vigna which is available and distributed worldwide for research in food and agriculture. Since 1985, IITA has distributed germplasms for cowpea genetic improvement research to institut...

Cowpea is seed propagated and when mature seeds are properly dried they could remain viable over a period of time depending on the genotype and storage conditions. Due to heat and dry conditions seeds of cultivated cowpea that remain in the fields after harvest usually do not retain viability for...

Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus are common contaminants of peanut (Arachis hypogea) and a major threat to consumers, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Aflatoxin contamination is a serious concern given their hepatotoxic properties and their widespread occur...

A trial was conducted in Benin, West Africa to investigate the effectiveness of PICS bags in controlling postharvest pests during maize storage. Sorted and un-sorted maize (25 kg) was stored in either PICS bags (PsB) or polypropylene bags (PPB) as controls with half of the bags being artificially...

Land degradation in the smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa is mainly related to insufficient adoption of sustainable agriculture technologies. This study was aimed at investigating the potential of biological inoculants to improve crop yields and control plant diseases in a profita...

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...

The aflatoxin class of mycotoxins is one of the most important food safety concerns at domestic and international levels. The widespread occurrence of aflatoxin contamination in Africa and other tropical countries is a major potential hazard to humans and domesticated animals, and causes severe h...
