Genetic variability and heritability of selected cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) lines
This paper presents the results of two different but related experiments in northern Nigeria, one in the 2011 rainy season and the second in the 2012 dry season, to estimate the genetic variability and heritability of traits in selected cowpea lines.
Selection of intermittent drought tolerant lines across years and locations in the reference collection of groundnut
The results presented in this paper show a close interaction between environmental conditions and the genotypic response to intermittent drought, suggesting the need to carefully choose environments that truly represent target environments.
Response of old and new cowpea varieties to insecticide spray regimes in the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
This paper determines the response to insecticide spraying of old cowpea varieties developed in the late 1970s and new varieties developed in the 2000s – in order to determine whether the new varieties have less requirement for spraying.
