Mycological evaluation of the phylloplane of Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2018 Cowpea a leguminous crop consumed by millions of people in Asia and sub-Sahara Africa often faces pre- and postharvest attack like fungal infection.

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

Toxic effects of Ni2+ on growth of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) [PDF]
Plant and Soil, 2007 Despite the importance of Ni-polluted soils throughout the world, comparatively little is known about the activity of Ni2+ required to reduce plant growth and the effects that Ni2+ toxicity has on the plant. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. cv Caloona) was grown in dilute nutrient solutions to investigate the effect of Ni2+ activity on shoot and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Development of transgenic imazapyr-tolerant cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) [PDF]
Plant Cell Reports, 2013 Here we present the development of cowpea lines tolerant to a herbicide from imidazoline class (imazapyr). Plants presented tolerance to fourfold the commercial recommended dose for weed control. Cowpea is one of the most important and widely cultivated legumes in many parts of the world.

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

Toxic effects of Pb2+ on growth of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) [PDF]
Environmental Pollution, 2007 A concentration as low as 1 microM lead (Pb) is highly toxic to plants, but previous studies have typically related plant growth to the total amount of Pb added to a solution. In the present experiment, the relative fresh mass of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) was reduced by 10% at a Pb2+ activity of 0.2 microM for the shoots and at a Pb2+ activity of 0.06
