Screening of cowpea accessions for cowpea aphid resistance [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2020 ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) genotypes may preserve important characteristics of potential use for the genetic breeding of this species. This study aimed to characterize sources of genetic resistance to the cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora), among accessions maintained at the cowpea germplasm bank of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (Brazil), in ...

THE INFLUENCE OF COWPEA CHARACTERISTICS ON COWPEA PRICES IN SENEGAL [PDF]
Agrekon, 2004 In examining demand for a product it is useful to think of consumers not as purchasing the product, but as purchasing its characteristics that provide utility. Consequently, it is important to measure the specific characteristics that consumers perceive as providing them with utility.

Morpho -genetic variability in F 2 progeny cowpea genotypes tolerant to bruchid (Callosobruchus maculatus) [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2019 Callosobruchus maculatus Fab. is a major threat to cowpea production reducing the quality, quantity and market value of cowpea grains. A cheap and easy identification method would be a valuable tool in identifying and breeding resistant genotypes in the ...

Stomatal behavior of cowpea genotypes grown under varying moisture levels [PDF]
, 2017 Drought is a major limitation to crop productivity worldwide. Plants lose most of their water through stomata, thus making stomata an important organ in the control of transpiration and photosynthesis.
