Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Drought did not affect cowpea phenology at Ibadan.
- Intervention effect At Kano, drought increased cowpea vegetative phase duration by 5–6 days.
- Intervention effect At Kano, drought did not affect cowpea reproductive phase duration.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced cowpea fractional interception of radiation and radiation-use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced cowpea total above-ground dry matter accumulation.
- Association Radiation-use efficiency and plant density interacted significantly at Kano and Ibadan.
- Observation Mean cowpea seed yield under well-watered conditions was 1600 kg ha⊃−1&/sup; at Kano.
- Observation Mean cowpea seed yield under well-watered conditions was 700 kg ha⊃−1&/sup; at Ibadan.
- Association Cowpea seed yield correlated strongly with dry matter production between flowering and maturity across locations, density and drought treatments (r = 0.96).
- Observation The authors inferred that reproductive dry matter partitioning was unaffected by location, drought or density.
- Method / resource The authors concluded cowpea seed yield can be predicted from dry matter accumulation.
