Evaluation of cowpea genotypes for field resistance to the legume pod borer, M. testulalis in Nigeria
Eighteen cowpea cultivars were screened for resistance to the legume pod borer, Maruca testulalis under field conditions at two locations (Mokwa and Ibadan) in Nigeria under unprotected and two types of insecticide protection levels. Unprotected plots gave zero yield due to their exposure to the ent...
