Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a major legume crops for human consumption and livestock feed in tropical regions. Although its importance, the crop's production is subjected to numerous constraints, raising the need to develop outstanding genotypes. In this line, this study assesses the effects of gamma irradiation doses on cowpea genotypes to determine the LD50 and its effects on...
