Laboratory and screenhouse assays for evaluating cowpea resistance to the legume pod borer
Two resistance screening assays were developed for evaluating cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp resistance to the legume pod borer (MPB), Maruca testulalis Geyer, one of the most intractable pest problems of this important food crop. The first assay, the dual-choice arena test (DCAT), provided a ch...
