Evaluation of cowpea genotypes for their reactions to Striga gesnerioides in the dry savanna of northeast Nigeria
The parasitic weed Striga gesnerioides (Willd) Vatke is one of the most important constraints to cowpea production in the dry savanna. Yield losses due to S. gesnerioides range from 83 to 100%. No single method however seems to be fully adequate in the control of this parasite. One practice, host pl...
