Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.Climate shocks and the agroecology–resilience nexus of smallholders. Summary of key findings: Agroecology increases smallholder resilience capacity by 8.7% in the short term under a decreased rainfall scenario, a projected 11% decline in precipitation reduces resilience by 5.6% and 14.2% in the short and long terms, respectively, and a policy‐induced ...

Aphid Resistance in Pulse Crops: Sources, Mechanisms, Genetics and Breeding
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Aphids are major pests of pulse crops, causing damage through phloem sap feeding and virus transmission. In this context, resistant varieties are central components of sustainable aphid management. This review synthesizes current knowledge on resistance sources, phenotyping strategies, resistance mechanisms, genetic control and breeding ...

Trends in the Production, Trade, and Consumption of Food-Legume Crops in Sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]
Food legumes in Sub-Saharan Africa play a vital role by being a source of livelihood for millions of people; and offer tremendous potential to contribute to the alleviation of malnutrition among resource-poor farmers.

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Legumes (family Fabaceae) are vital, nutrient‐dense global resources rich in proteins, complex carbohydrates and micronutrients. Although offering agronomic benefits like nitrogen fixation, their dietary utilization is often constrained by anti‐nutritional factors (ANFs) such as phytates, tannins, lectins and oligosaccharides, which reduce ...

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.

Climate change impacts on cowpea productivity in Nigeria
African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2010 If a climate signal could be detected at state or regional level, it would be useful to policy planners, agricultural authority and farmers to prepare for climate change. This study, therefore, employed a statistical model to investigate the relationship between the yield of cowpea and temperature (in centigrade) and precipitation (in millimeters) for ...

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.
