Conference Paper 2002

Autor: Olufajo, O.O. Singh, B.B.

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) [L.] Walp.) is a major component of the traditional cropping systems in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America where it is widely grown in mixtures with other crops in various combinations. The productivity of cowpea in these mixtures is low, mainly due to low plan...

Crops' incompatibility makes conventional breeding approaches untenable in transferring available insect resistance From wild Vigna sp. into cowpea. The alternative recourse is to isolate and transfer alien resistance genes using genetic transformation. This has the added advantage of using usefu...

With the low input of fertilizers into African farming systems, it is necessary to harness biological nitrogen fixation to its fullest extent. The greatest potential, at least in the short term, lies in nitrogen fixation in grain and pasture legumes and in nitrogen-fixing trees. To maximise nitro...

Over the last three decades, sporadic efforts have been made to develop regeneration and transformation systems in cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L. Walp). This paper reviews the progress made to date, including highlights of culture media and explants used for regeneration and chimeric gene construc...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is an important grain legume in the semiarid zone of West Africa as it is a major source of dietary protein for the people. It is usually grown as an intercrop with the major cereals, namely millet and sorghum. Despite its importance, its yields are very low ...

The potential impact and return to investment from introducing improved dualpurpose cowpea for food and fodder in northern Nigeria was investigated using a combination of farmers' workshops and village and household level surveys. Out of the 462 households surveyed, 41 % were adopters, 9% had bee...

The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture houses the largest collection of cowpea landraces in the world. This collection has been studied using agro morphological, botanical and geographic descriptors to define a core collection with a smaller reference collection being defined thereaf...

High population growth and consequent pressure for food is driving agriculture towards greater intensification in West Africa. However, due to inadequate use/availability of farm manure and fertilisers, there is a continuous decline in soil fertility and overall crop productivity. This trend must...
