Impacts of pesticide use practices and gender on cowpea productivity of smallholder farmers in Benin
Cowpea has a considerable potential to contribute to the food security and livelihoods of African smallholder farmers. Yet, cowpea yields in Africa are among the lowest in the world and one possible explanation for the yield gap is cowpea’s high vulnerability to insect pest attacks. Pesticides have …

Characterising four Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) Mozambican landraces deposited in a seed bank for drought tolerance
Cowpea production is severely affected by environmental stress factors, particularly drought. More drought-tolerant crops are therefore urgently required for future improvement of food production in Mozambique. To increase high productivity and sustainability of cowpea there is a need to establish …

A genomic analysis of the insect pest populations of cowpea in West Africa
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp (Fabaceae)] is an important and major staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in the dry savanna regions of West Africa. The crop provides food, cash, and fodder. As a food crop, cowpea is a primary source of protein for the ever-growing population of …

Genetic analysis of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. WALP) agronomic variables in phosphorus limiting soil.
Cowpea is an important cultivated grain legume pulse, vegetable and fodder crop of African origin. However, yields have been characteristically low as a result of both abiotic and biotic stresses. Among the abiotic stresses, yield losses due to phosphorus (P) deficiency is an important factor. …
