Field performance of improved cowpea varieties under conditions of natural infestation by the parasitic weed Striga gesnerioides
Cowpea is an important food crop in the dry savannas of West and Central Africa because of its high protein content. Yields are, however, considerably reduced by the parasitic angiosperm Striga gesnerioides. Field trials over 2 years in two localities in northeast Nigeria evaluated the performance o...
