A SNP and SSR based genetic map of asparagus bean (Vigna. unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis) and comparison with the broader species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Asparagus bean (Vigna. unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis) is a distinctive subspecies of cowpea [Vigna. unguiculata (L.) Walp.] that apparently originated in East Asia and is characterized by extremely long and thin pods and an aggressive climbing growth ...

Physical land suitability assessment for sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) production in Western Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Land is a non‐renewable resource that has a finite quantity, and efficient use of this resource is imperative for food security, development, and adaptation to climatic change. In this regard, land suitability analysis is a fundamental decision‐support system that ensures the allocation of this resource for an optimal production agenda while ...

Effects of grain-producing cover crops on rice grain yield in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique

Revista Ceres
Besides providing benefits to the environment such as soil protection, release of nutrients, soil moisture maintenance, and weed control, cover crops can increase food production for grain production.

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)–maize (Zea mays L.) intercrops grown with fertilizers enhanced cowpea grain yield and profitability in Guinea savannah of Ghana

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The low yield of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) in sub‐Saharan Africa is credited to several limitations, including poor soil fertility and unsustainable cropping systems. Cereals like maize (Zea mays L.) and legume crops like cowpea support smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa. Intercropping (more common than rotations) can boost

Water use efficiency and productivity of dryland grain sorghum and cowpea intercrops in distinct semi‐arid conditions

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract An intercropping system is one of the traditional practices adopted under dry conditions due to its ability to utilize resources efficiently. There is limited information on water use efficiency (WUE) and water equivalent ratio (WER) of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)‐cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) intercrop grown in different agroecological ...

De novo transcriptomic analysis of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) for genic SSR marker development

BMC Genetics, 2017
Background Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is one of the most important legumes in tropical and semi-arid regions. However, there is relatively little genomic information available for genetic research on and breeding of cowpea.

Agronomic responses and botanical composition of warm‐season annual forages managed under contrasting harvest strategies

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Warm‐season annual (WSA) forages enhance the summer forage supply in subtropical livestock systems. The objective of this study was to determine forage mass (FM), nutritive value, nitrogen (N) yield, and botanical composition in 12 forage mixtures managed under two harvest strategies (simulated grazing vs. baleage). A randomized complete block

Fermented Plant‐Based Milks: A Review of Physicochemical and Technological Aspects to Sensory and Probiotic Attributes

Food Bioengineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 314-334, June 2026.
Technological and biotechnological processes, including fermentation with selected starter cultures, convert diverse plant raw materials into fermented plant‐based milks. These processes enhance nutritional profiles, functional and probiotic compounds, and improve physicochemical and sensory properties, supported by predictive modeling to optimize ...
