Improvement in the cooking and physico-chemical characteristics of hard-to-cook cowpeas by pre-conditioning and micronization [PDF]

, 2008
Dissertation (MSc(Agric))--University of Pretoria, 2007.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 ...

Cowpeas vs. soybeans: Can valorization bridge the nutritional gap for sustainable animal feeding systems in the Global South?

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Heavy dependence on soybeans for non-ruminant diets is unsustainable in regions where poor growing conditions limit production. Across much of the Global South, local supply rarely meets demand, forcing costly imports that erode feed profitability ...

Advances in the Integration of Genomic and Phenomic Tools in Cowpea Breeding for Improving Stress Resilience and Grain Yield and Quality

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a multi‐use crop highly valued as a food crop, high‐protein fodder, and sustainable cover crop. Yet, it remains underused, and yields in most growing regions are below the crop's potential due to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses.

Mixed Cropping of Narrow‐Leaved Lupin With Oat Improves Grain‐Yield Stability Across Five European Locations

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulse x cereal mixtures are promoted to stabilise yield and reduce fertiliser dependence, yet robust multienvironment evidence for narrow‐leaved lupin (NLL, Lupinus angustifolius) × oat (Avena sativa) mixed cropping remains scarce. We tested whether NLL × oat mixtures maintain productivity while enhancing grain‐yield stability.

Mucuna pruriens as a Sustainable Functional Food: Applications From Seed to Product

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
This review highlights Mucuna pruriens as a nutrient‐rich legume with significant nutritional, therapeutic, and agricultural value. Its protein‐rich seeds contain essential minerals and L‐DOPA, but high antinutritional compounds require effective processing before consumption.

Smartphone‐based proximal sensing as an accessible platform for improved physiological phenotyping

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract We tested whether smartphone‐based sensing could deliver accurate physiological traits in an accessible and low‐cost platform. A smartphone, carried by someone walking through a field, was used to generate a high‐resolution time series of images for 10 genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.).

Challenges and limitations of introducing pigeonpea as a new crop into smallholder farming systems through farmer‐to‐farmer education in Zambia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2080-2088, November 2026.
Legume plants offer generous benefits for both the planet and people by supporting sustainable farming, food and feed systems through their ability to symbiotically fix atmospheric nitrogen. While grain legumes are cultivated and consumed globally, their adoption, market development, and integration into cropping systems vary.
