Variability in yield and vegetative growth of some selected cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] lines under varying shade conditions
This study was conducted to elucidate the effect of varying shade conditions of some selected cowpea lines in relation to their vegetative growth and yield. The study revealed positive phenotypic correlation coefficients of higher magnitudes for varieties grown under the single and double shading conditions.
Response of some groundnut varieties to Alectra vogelii infestation in northern Nigeria
This paper presents the results of a field trial conducted in northern Nigeria in 2014 during the rainy season to evaluate the response of 11 local and improved groundnut genotypes to natural infestation of Alectra vogelii.
Drought tolerance mechanisms for response to pre- and post-flowering drought stress of groundnut in a dryland ecology
This poster presents the results of a study that investigated the mechanisms of drought tolerance of selected groundnut cultivars under pre- and post-flowering drought stress.
Groundnut rosette disease symptoms, types, distribution and management of the disease in Uganda
This study documents the findings of a nationwide survey in 2012 and 2013 covering 23 districts in Uganda. The surveys ascertained the predominant GRD symptom types, GRD incidences and severity, farmers’ knowledge and their GRD coping mechanisms, the current groundnut seed system and farming practices.
Narrow sense heritability and gene effects for late leaf spot resistance in Valencia groundnuts
This study was conducted to determine narrow sense heritability and gene action controlling Late Leaf Spot resistance in Valencia groundnut materials.
Agronomic response of soybean varieties to plant population in the Guinea Savannas of Nigeria
This study examined the agronomic responses of three contrasting soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties to plant populations in two distinct agro‐ecological locations (at Samaru Zaria and Samaru‐Kataf) within the Guinea savanna region of northern Nigeria in the 2009, 2010, and 2011 growing seasons.
Field phenotyping of Soybean roots for drought stress tolerance
The strong association between root and nodule parameters and whole plant productivity demonstrated in this study suggests the potential application of simple root phenotypic markers in screening for drought tolerance in soybean.
Association of nodule performance traits with shoot performance traits of Common Bean under drought stress
The findings presented in this journal article suggest that nodule characteristics and SNF ability should be included with above- and below-ground traits as phenotypic markers in germplasm evaluation and breeding programs aimed at improving drought tolerance in common bean.
Potential benefits of drought and heat tolerance in groundnut for adaptation to climate change in India and West Africa
This study used the crop growth simulation model for groundnut (CROPGRO-Groundnut model) to quantify the potential benefits of incorporating drought and heat tolerance and yield-enhancing traits into commonly grown cultivar types at sites in India, Mali, and Niger.
Genetics of resistance to Groundnut Rosette Virus disease
This study was conducted to better understand the genetics of inheritance of resistance to Groundnut Rosette Virus disease.
