Comparative responses of cowpea breeding lines to Striga and Alectra in the dry savanna of northeast Nigeria
The parasitic flowering plants Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii (Benth.) are formidable cowpea production constraints in the West and Central African savanna. The two parasites cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea in the dry savannas. A field study was conducted to scree...
