Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Moisture stress reduced biomass production in cowpea.
- Intervention effect Moisture stress reduced number of pods per plant in cowpea.
- Association Grain yield showed a significant interaction with moisture regimes.
- Observation Additive genetic effects dominated genetic control of grain size.
- Observation Additive genetic effects dominated genetic control of number of seeds per pod.
- Observation Additive genetic effects dominated genetic control of days to flowering.
- Observation Both additive and non-additive genetic effects dominated grain yield.
- Observation Grain yield improvement was judged more challenging for drought-prone regions.
- Recommendation The authors suggest recurrent selection of genotypes with complementary yield alleles under different moisture conditions.
- Method / resource The study identified parental lines and developed populations for cowpea breeding.
- Recommendation The study provided a breeding strategy for higher grain yield in cowpea for West African savannah regions.
