Genetic gain in yield and agronomic characteristics of cowpea cultivars developed in the Sudan Savannas of Nigeria over the past three decades
This paper evaluates a field study conducted to determine the rate of genetic improvement in grain and fodder yields and associated agronomic and physiological changes of determinate and semi-determinate cowpea genotypes developed in the Nigerian Sudan savannas from 1974 to 2004.
