Breeding cowpea varieties for resistance to Striga gesnerioides and Alectra vogelii
Two parasitic flowering plants, Striga gesnerioides (Wild.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii (Benth.), cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea in the dry savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. Alectra is more prevalent in the northern Guinea savanna and southern Sudan savanna of West Africa, as well as in Eas...
