Field evaluation of cowpea cultivars (Vigna unguiculata L Walp.) for resistance to flower thrips (Megalurothrips sjostedti Trybom) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

Ten cowpea cultivars were screened for resistance to flower bud thrips, Megalurothrips sjostedti, in replicated field trials. Resistance was evaluated by measuring differences in populations and visual damage on the cultivars. Statistical correlation was employed to assess the degree of association...
