Yield and yield components responses to plant density in cowpea grown in two savannah agro‐ecologies in Nigeria

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Gap‐filling is used to mitigate yield losses in different legumes. There is scanty information on this mechanism of yield compensation in the cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp]. This study investigated responses of yield and yield components to plant density in some accessions of cowpea at Minjibir and Shika locations.

Production, breeding and potential of cowpea crop in Brazil. [PDF]

, 2013
About 50 years ago cowpea was reported as a relatively minor tropical legume. However, in the last years, it has been emerging as one of the most important food legume of the 21st century (SINGH, 2010). Brazil is not out of this panorama.

Underutilised Legumes for Advancing Climate‐Smart Agriculture in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa faces intersecting challenges of food insecurity, malnutrition and climate variability, exacerbated by the predominance of rainfed agriculture and limited input use. Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) offers a framework to address these issues through increased productivity, enhanced resilience and reduced environmental impact.

Wild Legume Species in Africa: A Synthesis of Vigna Potential for Nutrition and Food Security

Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Legumes are staple foods and essential sources of nutrients for populations facing food insecurity in Africa. Within this group, the genus Vigna—including cowpea (Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata)—is among the most widely cultivated and consumed.

Root and Leaf Traits for Dehydration Avoidance and Enhanced Grain Yield in Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L., Fabaceae) Under Drought

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Drought stress, which is exacerbated by climate change, is a major contributor to crop production losses in rainfed agriculture. Two genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata, (L.) Walp.) with determinate (IT‐16) and indeterminate (IT‐96D‐610) growth patterns were grown either well‐watered or subjected to drought stress at vegetative and ...
