Resilient crop varieties: Cowpea

Resilient crop varieties: Cowpea. Fifty (50) cowpea lines were screened for iron, zinc, calcium and lutein content. Ca: 545-1300 ppm Zn: 23 to 48 ppm Fe: 48 to 79 ppm Lutein: 0 to 69 ppm The 50 lines were planted in diverse locations to study heritability and GxE effects.

Presentation Transcript


  1. Resilient crop varieties: Cowpea • Fifty (50) cowpea lines were screened for iron, zinc, calcium and lutein content. • Ca: 545-1300 ppm • Zn: 23 to 48 ppm • Fe: 48 to 79 ppm • Lutein: 0 to 69 ppm • The 50 lines were planted in diverse locations to study heritability and GxE effects

  2. Cereal-legume-livestock integration On-farm testing of Striga control technologies in Nigerian • Integrated Striga control (resistant varieties, rotations, nutrient management) vs farmer control (continuous cereal) • ISC reduced Striga density & seedbank, gave higher grain yield and net benefits than farmer control
