dc.description.abstract | Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted
to ascertain the extent of damage caused to cowpea
pods by the common pod sucking buqs Riptortus dentipes F.
and Anoolocnemis curvioes F. and to elucidate the
factors contributing to their susceptibility or resistance
in the field. Greenhouse studies were aimed at
determining the parameters in cowpea pods for assessing
the amount of damage caused by the bugs and hence to
ascertain whether these bugs could be considered alike
in resistance evaluations of cowpea in the field.
The primary objective of field investigations was to
determine the factors contributing to the suceptibility
or resistance of cowpea plants to the bugs and hence
Suggest a breeding strategy for its improvement | en |
