Cowpea, an indigenous crop to sub-Saharan Africa, is found mainly in the dry savanna regions along with cereals such as millets and sorghum. Cowpea is grown primarily for human consumption of the grains, which are rich in protein, carbohydrates and contain some minerals. The development and deplo...

To restore food security to a traditional African cropping system following a sudden loss of seed, genetic diversity must be re-established. This study examines the extent to which Cowpea diversity was reinstated two years after a flood disaster in Gaza Province, Mozambique. The contribution that...

Field trials were conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Tilla (northern Guinea savanna) and Sabon-Gari (Sudan savanna) in northeast Nigeria to determine the performance of two improved cowpea varieties when relay-intercropped with early and late maize, 6 and 8 weeks after planting the maize. Grain yield,...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata spp unguiculata) is adapted to the drier agro-ecological zones of West Africa where it is a major source of dietary protein and widely used as a fodder crop. Improving the productivity of cowpea can enhance food availability and security in West Africa. Insect predation ...

Striga gesnerioides is considered a major constraint to improving cowpea productivity in the semi arid region of Africa. A field survey was conducted in a farmer participatory process in 100 cowpea fields to determine farmers’ crop production practices that influence infestation by the parasitic ...

Striga gesnerioides (Willd) Vatke is a significant constraint to cowpea production in the dry savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. Yield losses caused by S. gesnerioides in these regions are estimated in millions of tons annually and the prevalence of Striga soil infestation is steadily increasing. Co...

Le niébé est l’une des principales légumineuses produites et consommées au Bénin. Son importance économique, son taux élevé de protéine et son importance dans le régime limentaire des populations font de cette culture un important de la sécurité alimentaire et de la réduction de la pauvreté. Ce ...

Cowpea is a key leguminous crop produced and consumed in Benin. Its economic contribution food protein content and its importance in the diet of the populations, make it a major factor toward food security and the reduction of poverty. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the contribution of ...
