Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleResponse of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) Varieties to Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke InfestationAlhassan Bawa, Ismael Yakubu, Yussif SeiduProduction of cowpea within the sub-Saharan Africa, and Ghana in particular, is bedeviled with many challenges, including Striga infestation, resulting in abysmal low grain and biomass yields. Thus, the study was conducted to evaluate Striga's impact on cowpea growth and yield. During the 2023 agricultural season, the study was carried out in Northern Ghana. A control (non-infested) experiment and a … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 18 Sep 2025 · 4,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNodulation and Biomass Yield Response of Cowpea to Row Spacing and Phosphorus Fertilizer Application in the Guinea Savanna Agro-Ecological Zone of GhanaAlhassan Bawa, Lukman YussifPhosphorus fertilizer application and planting distance play a major role in the production of shoot, root and nodule dry biomass of cowpea. However, phosphorus is a major limiting nutrient in soils in Ghana. Selection of cowpea varieties that produce good biomass yield under low soil phosphorus or those with high phosphorus response efficiency can be a low input approach in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 23 Jan 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermination of Abscisic Acid and its Relationship to Drought Stress Based on Cowpea Varieties with Different Capability of Drought ResistanceWei Lei, Shian Huang, Shaohu Tang et al.Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is one of the most important grain legume supplying necessarily dietary proteins. Although its can tolerate drought environment, still the severe condition can limit the growth and development of this plant. Abscisic acid (ABA) has a crucial function in stress physiology, but little information is available for methods describing ABA determination in cowpea and its relationship … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2016 · 8,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Properties of Selected Cowpea Varieties Tested in Bovine Peripheral BloodSarah Adjei-Fremah, Louis EN Jackai, Mulumebet WorkuCowpea is an important grain legume with a dual purpose function as a food and feed resource. Cowpea contains phenolic compounds that are beneficial to human and animal health. We evaluated the phenolic content, condensed tannin content and antioxidant capacities of methanol extracts of seed and leaf of seven varieties commonly used in food and animal feed. The total phenolic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2015 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF PROTEIN CONCENTRATE FROM BLACK COWPEA AND ITS APPLICATIONAnuchita Moongngarm, Sirinapa Sasanam, Watcharee Pinsiri et al.Black cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) is high in protein, which makes it suitable for use as a protein supplement in food products. However, direct application of cowpea flour in food products is limited as it may affect some quality aspects of foods. Protein concentrate and isolate are a form of the protein that is gaining interest in industry. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 29 Nov 2014 · 6,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntercropping Agricultural Practices by Improving Maize Early Growth Process: A Bio-Statistical ApproachDago Dougba Noel, Tuo Yalamoussa, Niamien Coffi Jean Magloire et al.Fertile soil pressure represents a crucial concern vis-à-vis of agricultural crop yield improvement in several southern countries. Environmental concerns and soil low fertility as well as a rapid demographic development and as well intensive industrial exploitation with regard ground resource, drastically contribute in reducing agricultural land availability. We believe that multiple culture and/or intercropping experimentation designs, integration in southern countries … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 25 May 2019 · 8,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Compositions and Resistant Starch Content in Starchy FoodsAnuchita MoongngarmResistant Starch (RS) is one of nature’s most interesting bioactive compounds. There is a wide variety of starchy food plants in Thailand that are good sources of RS, but they have not been well studied. As such, this study was carried out to investigate the potential food source of RS. Twenty-two promising food plants were selected. The samples included (1) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2013 · 15,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Protein from Common Plant Leaves for Use as Human FoodA.E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Protein deficiency is one of the major nutritional problems in the developing world. The most disastrous consequences occur in children where protein malnutrition manifests itself in forms of two notorious diseases: Marasmus and kwashiorkor. Expansion of present agricultural practices into marginal lands is expected to solve this chronic protein shortage. The process of photosynthesis is the only non … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 12,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Tospovirus Transmitting Thrips Populations from IndiaRang Lal Meena, T. Ramasubramanian, S. Venkatesan, S. MohankumarThe presence of Tospovirus in thrips vector, Scirtothrips dorsalis has been detected for the first time in India using RT- PCR analysis. Similarly RT-PCR analysis with GBNV infected tomato leaves also resulted in the amplification of cDNA corresponding to the N gene (approximately 830 bp) of Coimbatore isolate. Dendrogram constructed on the basis of RAPD similarity matrix revealed that S. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,733 accessesView PDFCite
