Development of calibration model to predict nitrogen content in single seeds of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) using near infrared spectroscopy

Cowpea is an important crop for food security, as it is a primary source of protein and cash income for farmers in the dry savanna areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. Improved varieties should contain reasonable amounts of protein in the grains, and to ensure this, timely and cost-effective analytical meth...
