Bradyrhizobium inoculants enhance grain yields of soybean and cowpea in northern Ghana
This study evaluated the symbiotic effectiveness and economic evaluation of Rhizobium
inoculants with the objective of recommending the most effective inoculant strain
for soybean and cowpea production in Northern Ghana. ...
Identification of new sources of resistance to Striga gesnerioides in cowpea Vigna unguiculata accessions
The parasitic weed, Striga gesnerioides, is a major threat to cowpea productivity throughout the savannas of West and Central Africa. The
identification of sources of S. gesnerioides resistance and their incorporation in ...
Genetic diversity of physical, nutritional and functional properties of cowpea grain and relationships among the traits
Cowpea is traditionally important as an affordable source of protein and minerals and of cash
income in sub-Saharan Africa, especially for small-scale farmers who have limited options for
food and cash crops. The development ...
High-yielding soybean and cowpea
In 2016, three soybean genotypes; one early (TGx 1835-10E), one medium (TGx-1904-6F) and one late (TGx-1951-3F) maturing were evaluated for high yield and drought tolerance in three agro-ecologies in Mozambique: Ruace, ...
Screening wild vigna species and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) landraces for sources of resistance to striga gesnerioides
This chapter presents the results of a study conducted on the experimental field of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Minjibir, Kano State, Nigeria, during the planting seasons of 2012 and 2013 ...
Effect of phosphorus (P) application on nutrient uptake, biomass, pod and seed formation in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp])
Phosphorous (P) deficiency is a serious problem which limits the
productivity of cowpea in sub-Saharan Africa.
• P deficiency affects negatively the formation of nodule (1, 2) and the
symbiotic fixation of N2 by limiting ...
Evaluation of Cowpea varieties for Integration into the cropping Systems
Field experiments were conducted at two locations in the central region of Malawi during the 2018/2019 main cropping season to evaluate fifteen cowpea varieties (12 advanced lines and three standard checks) obtained from ...
Factors affecting the diffusion of the innovations by gender in cowpea value chains in West Africa
Adetonah, S.S. (2016). Factors affecting the diffusion of the innovations by gender in cowpea value chains in West Africa. Poster: Sustainable grain legume systems for food income and nutritional security in a rapidly ...
Integrating new soybean and cowpea genotypes into the cropping systems
In Mozambique, 32 soybean varieties from private and public sources across Africa were evaluated in two agro-ecologies in collaboration with the Soybean Innovation Lab (SIL) to identify best performing varieties for release ...
