Effect of germination and drying on enzyme activity in sorghum and cowpeas
Malts prepared from sorghum and cowpeas that was germinated at 25°C for 0, 1, 2 or 3 days and dried at 60°C for either 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 hours, were evaluated for α-amylase, β-amylase and endo-(1,3)(1,4)-β-D-glucanase activity. Germination had a highly significant effect on enzyme activity (P < …

Improvement in the cooking and physico-chemical characteristics of hard-to-cook cowpeas by pre-conditioning and micronization
Cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) are legumes widely consumed in developing countries. Because cowpeas are an important source of proteins, calories and vitamins, they have the potential to alleviate protein-energy malnutrition. However, the consumption of cowpeas is impaired by the hard-to-cook …

Aphids as vectors of peanut mottle virus
Higher percentages of peanuts than soybeans or cowpeas become infected when these crops are growing equal distances from a source of peanut mottle virus (PMV). The total number of aphids trapped in these crops are about equal and the reason for this differential percentage infection has not been …

Breeding for Bioactive Compounds in Vigna Unguiculata L. (WALP.)
… will be useful for nutritional improvement of cowpeas, where potential genotypes and phenotypes with health benefits offered by enhanced contents of bioactive compounds can be improved further upon.

Effects of Cover Crop Treatments on Apple Trees
… crops were cut and mulched to the media surface. Cowpeas and German foxtail millet were studied. Legume cover crops generated more biomass per plant, higher % and total N, and total C. Trees grown in competition with cover crops grew less than those without, and did not recover after cover crop …

Effects of sprouted cowpea (vigna unguiculata) dietary inclusion with ronozyme ® ProAct supplementation on broiler performance
… and carcass parameters of Ross-308 broilers. Cowpeas were screened for viable seed and sterilised by 30-minute immersion in 2% sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution. Germinated by 12-hour soaking in tap water prior to 4-day open-air, 2-hourly irrigated sprouting on steel screens, and rapid, hot …

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. …

Climate change and food security: effects of rainfall variability on sustainable food security in the Sahel of northern Nigeria
… Among the crop yield data, the values for beans/cowpeas are more consistent and show less variability compared to other crops. The assessment for multicollinearity performed on the data showed only SPI, temperature and bean yield data do not have a strong correlation. In terms of policy …
