Mass production of Metarhizium anisopliae on different locally available solid substrates viz., pearl millet, maize, sweet corn, cowpea, rice bran, wheat press mud + yeast extract (1%) and bagasse Pulses green gram, red chick pea cowpea liquid media sabouraud’s dextrose broth, potato maltose sucrose broth glucose was taken up. Significantly highest number CFU were recorded in 94.00, 91.00 97.00...

Legumes and pulses have high nutritive values and functional properties that exert positive effects on health and nutrition. This study developed a novel complementary baby food using germinated mung bean and cowpea as sources of extra nutrients supplemented to the infants (aging 6-12 months). The carbohydrate contents of mung bean and cowpea showed 64.3 and 64.0% reduction, respectively, durin...

The spin-polarized calculations in generalized gradient approximation density–functional theory (GGA–DFT) have been used to show how the existence of second metals can modify the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Au (100), Cu (100), and Pt (100) surfaces. The computed adsorption energies for the atomic hydrogen adsorbed at the surface coverage of 0.125 ML (monolayer) for the monometallic Au (100), ...

the study investigates consumers’ preference for cowpea reflected in the nigerian markets through price discounts and premiums that consumers pay for different cowpea characteristics. the price data used for this study were obtained through a market survey. a common data collection protocol was employed. every month, between october 2009 to december 2010, five cowpea samples per seller were bou...

This study evaluated the symbiotic effectiveness and economic evaluation of Rhizobium inoculants with the objective of recommending the most effective inoculant strain for soybean and cowpea production in Northern Ghana. Field experiments were established in three locations using randomized complete block design with five blocks. A total of four treatments (Legumefix, Biofix, 100 kg N ha-1 and ...

The cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a widespread pest of many cultivated and wild plants in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In 2013, this species was reported in Brazil, attacking various host crops in the midwestern and northeastern regions of the country and is now found countrywide. Aiming to understand the effects of different host plants on th...

the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hübner), is a serious pest on a wide range of economic crops in many parts of the world. in this study, digestive proteolytic and amylolytic activities of h. armigera larvae (3rd to 5th instars) were evaluated on five main host plants including chickpea (cv hashem), cowpea (cv mashhad), soybean (cv 033), navybean (cv dehghan), and corn (cv sc 704) at 2...
