Narrative experimental releases of parasitoids Benin and Burkina Faso
In Benin, we released some 60’100 adult parasitic wasp (30’300 Therophilus javanus and 29’800 Phanerotoma syleptae) which work in synergy by having two different modes of action, one being an ovo-larval parasitoid, and the ...
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 ...
Data on parasitoid Releases Benin Burkina Faso
The dataset includes details of the releases of two different parasitoids in Benin and Burkina Faso
Contribution of innovation platforms in the cowpea value chain for food security in West Africa
Adetonah, S., Locoh, J.L. & Coulibaly, O. (2016). Contribution of innovation platforms in the cowpea value chain for food security in West Africa. Poster. Pan African Grain Legumes and World Cowpea Conference: sustainable ...
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 ...
Evaluation of early maturing cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) germplasm for variation in phosphorus use efficiency and biological nitrogen fixation potential with indigenous rhizobial populations
Cowpea genotypes that efficiently utilize phosphorus (P) with high potential for biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) are vital to sustainable cropping systems in West Africa. A total of 175 early maturing cowpea genotypes ...
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 ...
Incidence and diversity of viruses in cowpeas and weeds in the unmanaged farming systems of savanna zones in Nigeria
Fields surveys were conducted to assess the incidence of commonly known legume viruses on cowpeas and weed hosts within and around the cowpeas farms in nine locations across the three agro-ecological zones of Nigeria. Of ...
Responses of cowpea genotypes to rock phosphate application
Suzuki, K., Fatokun, C. & Boukar, O. (2016). Responses of cowpea genotypes to rock phosphate application. Poster. Pan African Grain Legumes and World Cowpea Conference: sustainable grain legume systems for food income and ...
Estimating household demand for cowpea in Nigeria using a two-stage censored food demand system
This study estimates household food demand using a two-stage censored demand system with a focus on cowpea in Nigeria. The analysis is based on a nationally representative household survey data collected by World Bank’s ...
