Water productivity in cultivating the cowpea under different production systems

Australian Journal of Crop Science, 2022
The increase in irrigated areas and the water crisis in numerous regions have encouraged the use of irrigation systems and management that afford greater efficiency in the use of water. Wastewater is one option for maximising this efficiency. The aim of this study was to evaluate the indicators of water productivity in the cultivation of irrigated ...

Varying drought stress induces morpho-physiological changes in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) genotypes inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Plant Stress, 2021
Increased environmental fluctuations because of climate change have been forecasted in many agricultural regions to increase the frequency, intensity, and duration of drought episodes, which threaten the sustainability of future crop production. Although

Prospection of cowpea genotypes for green-grain production

REVISTA CIÊNCIA AGRONÔMICA, 2022
ABSTRACT Cowpea is a nutritious species cultivated worldwide whose high genetic variability can be exploited in breeding programs. The present study aimed to identify phenotypically divergent genotypes of Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., from this pe rspective concerning agronomic and physiological variables aiming at green grain production. An experiment

Quality Cowpea Seed Production Guide

, 2020
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp), is one of the major  legume crops grown in the semi arid regions of Uganda. It  is an important food crop for the resource poor, supporting  household needs from the early seedling stages to postharvesting time. In Uganda, the crop is an eminent source  of food and household income to the resource poor and  about 90%

Cowpea Genotypic Variations in N2 Fixation, Water Use Efficiency (δ13C), and Grain Yield in Response to Bradyrhizobium Inoculation in the Field, Measured Using Xylem N Solutes, 15N, and 13C Natural Abundance

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2022
To evaluate cowpea genotypic differences in response to inoculation with Bradyrhizobium sp. strains BR 3267 and CB756 in the field, 15 genotypes were assessed for N2 fixation using 15N natural abundance and assays of xylem N solutes (ureides, nitrates ...
