Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Sowing after inadequate rainfall impeded cowpea seedling establishment and growth, particularly with subsequent drought.
- Intervention effect Severe reproductive-stage drought adversely affected cowpea flowering, flowering intensity and yield.
- Observation Cowpea cultivars differed in ability to withstand drought damage.
- Mechanism Profuse branching to compensate for seedling stand losses appears necessary for cowpea adaptation to the Sudan savannah.
- Mechanism Flowering timed so pod set and fill coincide with favourable climate appears necessary for cowpea adaptation.
- Observation Daylength sensitivity alone was inadequate to prevent cowpea yield losses under drought.
- Observation Early maturity alone was inadequate to prevent cowpea yield losses under drought.
