Highlights
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L Walp) is a versatile legume that is produced as human food, cattle fodder, and other uses in semiarid areas on most continents and a source of revenue.1Cowpea is cultivated on roughly 11.3 million hectares across the globe 2013, with Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) accounting for 70% of total global production.1In high-consumption areas like Nigeria, this crop provides a substantial amount of the daily protein needs of most people.[1,2]
Cowpea planted in unsterilized soil with G. mosseae (M+*S-) recorded
Unsterilized soil without G. mosseae (M-*S-) gave 24% of the total cowpea height, while those planted in sterilized soil without G. mosseae (M-*S+) gave 12% of the total cowpea height
Summary
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L Walp) is a versatile legume that is produced as human food, cattle fodder, and other uses in semiarid areas on most continents and a source of revenue.1Cowpea is cultivated on roughly 11.3 million hectares across the globe 2013, with Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) accounting for 70% of total global production.1In high-consumption areas like Nigeria, this crop provides a substantial amount of the daily protein needs of most people.[1,2] Cowpea is a major leguminous crop in Nigeria and other Sub-Saharan African nations that feeds about 200 million people. Nigeria produces around 3.4 million metric tons of cowpea every year, accounting for more than 45% of global production.[3] Nigeria is the world's largest consumer of cowpea grain, with a population of over 200 million people. Because of the state of the soil, management techniques, low soil fertility becomes a major barrier for cowpea production, especially amongst Sub-Saharan African smallholder farmers.[4]
