Assessment of the response of fifteen cowpea [Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp.)] genotypes to infestation by Callosobruchus maculatus Fab. (Coloeptera: Bruchidae)

Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2022
Storage of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp)] is constrained by the cowpea seed bruchid pest, Callosobruchus maculatus. However, in Ghana, little is known of the responses of cowpea genotypes to infestation by C. maculatus.

Effects of Crop Rotation and Hydrogel Application on Soil Biological Properties and Wheat Biomass Production in Drylands

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aim Conservation agriculture (CA) is rapidly gaining traction to promote sustainable crop production, focusing on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and strategic crop rotation. Moreover, hydrogel is increasingly being used to improve water retention, including in combination with CA, particularly in water limited ...

Farmers and Agricultural Extension Officers Perception of Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke Parasitism on Cowpea in the Upper East Region of Ghana

Advances in Agriculture, 2018
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is an important food security crop in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, cowpea production in some parts of this region is constrained by Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke infestation resulting in yield losses.

Different dissipation potential and dietary risk assessment of tristyrylphenol ethoxylates in cowpea ecosystem in China

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Tristyrylphenol ethoxylates (TSPEOn) are widely used as inert ingredients in pesticide formulations in the world. However, the information on the dissipation behavior of different homologs TSPEOn in agro-products is lacking.

Synchronization of Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus Replication in Cowpea Leaves

Intervirology, 1976
A technique that 'systemically inoculates' cowpea leaves with cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) is described. The upper leaves of cowpea plants are maintained at 10 degrees and allowed to become infected with inoculum from lower leaves maintained at 32 degrees; when the whole plant is shifted to 25 degrees, synchronous virus replication starts in ...

Impact of sprouting pretreatment on physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility of buckwheat milk

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Buckwheat is a strategic raw material for plant‐based milk production due to its gluten‐free nature and rich bioactive profile. However, antinutritional factors and starch structure limit the nutritional quality and technological properties of such beverages.
