Farmers preferences and market integration of cowpea in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2013-11)Despite its importance as a legume in Uganda, cowpea has not received much attention over the last two decades. A survey was conducted in northern, mid-northern and eastern agro-ecological zones of Uganda with the purpose ... -
Field evaluation and genomic regions discovery conferring resistance to Cowpea Scab (Sphaceloma sp.) in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2020)Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a vital leguminous crop consumed in most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Productivity of the crop in Uganda is limited by multiple constraints, cowpea scab caused by Sphaceloma Sp. being ... -
Genetic study of cowpea resistance to flower bud thrips (Megalurothrips sjostedti Trybom)
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is an important and cheap source of protein in the diets of poor people in developing countries. It is cultivated for its leaf and grain, with a grain yield potential of 3000 Kg ha-1. ... -
Resistance of cowpea to scab disease and diversity of Sphaceloma SP. occurring in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2017)Cowpea (Viga unguiculata L. Walp) is the third most important legume food crop in Uganda with the Eastern and Northern regions accounting for most of the production in the country. However, its mean yield is less than 400 ... -
Stability and genetic diversity of cowpea elite lines in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-10)Cowpea yields in farmers’ fields continue to be low because of multiple stresses exacerbated by adverse effects of climate change. Therefore, there is a need to develop new cowpea varieties that have combined resilience ... -
Yield stability, correlation and homogeneity of advanced cowpea lines in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-03)Genetic stability coefficients, selection indices and homogeneity are important parameters that guide breeders in deciding what variety to release. The objectives of this study were to determine the yield stability, ...
