Hobbs, H. A., and Kuhn, C. W. 1987. Differential field infection of cowpea genotypes by southern bean mosaic virus. Phytopathology 77:136-139. Natural spread of the cowpea strain of southern bean mosaic virus among susceptible lines and between susceptible and resistant lines. (SBMV) from infected cowpea to several cowpea genotypes, including Inoculation by needle pricking showed similar levels...

Nano fertilizers are new products which contain readily available nutrients in the nano scale range and are preferred largely due to their efficiency. This research was conducted to assessment the effect of nano chelated of micro nutrient on agronomic traits of Cowpea via factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications during 2016 seasonal year. The treatme...

Cowpea is one of the most consumed legumes in Africa. Recombinant DNA technology has been used to insert foreign genes into plants genome thereby creating a new generation with desired traits. Such possess improved seed quality, yield and resistance pests pathogens. The aim this work assess safety profile an variety cowpea by examining its effect on liver kidney.Native cowpea, IT89KD, were fed ...

Consumer preferences for cooking-related traits are a deciding factor in the success of new cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] cultivars. Pigment leaching is an undesirable trait both consumers and producers alike that occurs during cooking or canning process has been goal improvement efforts through breeding. This study leverages power bulked segregant analysis to identify locus segregating ...

A field study was carried out during the summer seasons of 2019 and 2020 at research farm Agriculture University, Kota, Rajasthan, to effect NP fertilization stress mitigating chemicals on productivity profitability cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) baby corn (Zea mays intercropping system. The experiment conducted in a split-split plot design with 5 systems [sole cowpea, sole corn, + (2: 1), (3: 1...

Mustard, cowpea, horse gram, and groundnuts are the seasonal pulse crops used as food and fodder in many regions of the world. In the present study, the impact of biofield energy treatment on mustard, cowpea, horse gram, and groundnuts were studied with respect to overall growth, yield, and its related yield attributes. Seeds of each crop was selected and divided in two groups, i.e. control and...

Dehydrins (DHNs, LEA D-11) are plant proteins present during environmental stresses associated with dehydration or low temperatures and during seed maturation. Functions of DHNs have not yet been defined. Earlier, we hypothesized that a approximately 35-kDa DHN and membrane properties that reduce electrolyte leakage from seeds confer chilling tolerance during seedling emergence of cowpea (Vigna...

The economy of C and N in nodulated cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) was described in terms of fixation of CO(2) and N(2), respiratory losses of C, and the production of dry matter and protein.Net daytime gain of C by the shoot (net photosynthesis) rose to a maximum at flowering and then declined sharply due to abscission of leaves. Maximum N fixation occurred 10 days prior to maximum net ...
