Height from soil at the base of plant to the first pod (HFP) is an important trait for mechanical
harvesting of legume crops. To minimise the loss of pods, the HFP must be higher than that …

Cowpea cultivation in many countries around the Mediterranean Basin depends on a
number of locally adapted populations conserved on-farm at a small scale, rather than on …

A 2-year field experiment was conducted in a research farm at Tehran, Iran, to determine the
effect of mild and severe drought stress and foliar application of glycine betaine (0, 50, and …

ABSTRACT Nine Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) genotypes were assessed for forage
yield and quality features during 2005 and 2006 summer growing season at two locations …

BACKGROUND Cowpea fresh pods are consumed as green vegetables in many countries
in Southern Europe. Among cowpea cultivated material, a relatively large number of …

BACKGROUND Genetic diversity is fundamental to breeding programs and consequently
has an important role in obtaining new varieties. To properly use the genetic diversity …

Including pulses in crop rotations can improve the productivity of subsequent crops due to
increased soil available N and other agronomic benefits. However, the magnitude of this …

Cowpea is one of the vital grain legumes used for human and animal nutrition. Due to its rich
