Despite the contribution of cowpeas to food security and the crop's numerous nutritional and
health attributes, consumers in South Africa have labelled cowpeas, among other …

Abstract Background The legume cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is extensively grown in sub-
Saharan Africa. Cowpea, like many legumes has proved recalcitrant to plant transformation …

The identification of stable and adaptable high yielding cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.)
Walp.) and highly discriminative environments will be useful for elite cultivar development in …

The objective of this study was to determine phenotypic variation for yield and yield-related
traits among cowpea genotypes and select best candidate genotypes for breeding. Hundred …

Experimental studies were conducted to evaluate 16 advanced breeding lines of cowpea
(Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) for genetic variability, heritability and correlation between …

Cowpea is a nutrient-rich staple legume and climate-resilient crop for vulnerable
agroecosystems. However, the crop still remains underutilized, mainly due to its narrow …

Abstract Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) yields within the dry savannahs of Sub‐
Saharan Africa are low. Given the contribution of cowpea to food security in this region, it is …

The yield of cowpea varieties is affected by environmental variability. Hence, candidate
varieties must be tested for yield stability before release. This study assessed the impacts of …

Abstract Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a valuable crop for subsistence farmers in
sub‐Saharan Africa. Characterization and evaluation of cowpea germplasm collections …

Cowpea is a drought tolerant food legume but yields are generally low in South Africa due to
non-availability ofimproved varieties. The current study was undertaken to evaluate …
