The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic divergence between African cowpea lines from the Cowpea Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Meio-Norte, Brazil. The morphoagronomic diversity of 57 cowpea lines was assessed using multivariate analysis. The germplasm was evaluated in August 2009 using a randomized block design with three replications based on the following traits: number of pods per pedun...

Since the 1980s cowpea has become an alternative cash crop in northern Senegal. However, in 1997, surveys showed that farmers often sold their crop at unprofi table prices. The hypothesis was that farmers could improve selling prices if they produced cowpea with the characteristics demanded by consumers. To identify those characteristics, data were collected in six markets from January 1998 to ...

Legumes are commonly grown in the tropics under reduced solar radiation due to dense cloud cover and shading from plantation or tall intercrops. This paper examines the growth and N2 fixation of several grain legumes common to the tropics on an Oxic Haplustoll in Hawaii. Plantings were made in April (warm season) and November (cool season) of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) ‘Kahala’; Cowpea (Vig...

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season 2022 on Cowpea crop at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) to study the “Influence Phosphorus and Gibberelic acid growth yield (Vigna unguiculata L.)”. The treatments consisted three levels soil application (20, 40, 60) kg/ha foliar (50, 100, 150) ppm along with control. laid out ...

ABSTRACT: This study determined the effect of vermicompost humates as salinity mitigator in germination and morphometric characteristics basil varieties seedlings, tolerant sensitive to salinity, subjected diluted 1/60 (v/v) 0, 50 100 mM NaCl a completely randomized design with four replications. The rate percentage germination, root length, shoot height, fresh dry-weight were measured. showed ...

This study aims to determine the effect of substitution tofu flour and corn by addition sodium bicarbonate in a completely randomized design with two replicates. The first factor is flour: (S) are: S1=100:0, S2=25:75, S3=50:50, S4=75:25, S5=0:100. second adding (P), which consists three levels, namely: P1=0.00 %, P2=0.20 P3=0.30 %. observed parameters: protein content, water fat ash organolepti...

Complementary foods were formulated from blends of maize, cowpea and orange fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSP). Five different flour with the substitution at 5-30%, OFSP 5-20% while 100% maize was used as control. The heated extruded using a cold extruder. samples thereafter analyzed for their proximate, mineral, vitamin compositions, % In vitro Protein Digestibility. moisture, ash, fat, crude prote...

Essential oils are widely used as botanical insecticides rather than chemically synthesized pesticides which led to catastrophic effects on humans, the environment, and eutrophication. Here, encapsulation of four essential Basilicum ocimum, Cuminum cyminum, Origanum marjorana, Matricaria chamomilla were utilized in presence 3% v/v ethanol, anti-insect against Aphis craccivora compared tradition...
