Soil fertility management and cowpea production in the semiarid tropics by Bationo, B. André, Ntare, B.R., Tarawali, Shirley A., Tabo, Ramadjita

“…With efficient soil fertility management, cowpea can fix up to 88 kgN/ha and this results in an increase of nitrogen use efficiency on the succeeding cereal crop from 20% in the continuous cereal monoculture to 28% when cereals are in rotation with cowpea. …”

Short duration cowpea varieties for cultivation as a niche crop in various cropping systems for enhanced pulse production by Singh, YV, Singh, BB, Massey, P, Singh, PK

“…This has led to inadequate protein and minerals in the diets of rural and urban masses on one hand and imbalanced soil fertility due to cereal-cereal rotation on the other hand. Therefore, increased cultivation of pulses is urgently needed. …”
