Screening of cowpea cultivars for resistance to leaf smut
2001
Adejumo, T.O. | Florini, D.A. | Ikotun, T.
Many of the cowpea cultivars which were resistant to leaf smut disease in Brazil were found to be susceptible in Nigeria under high inoculum pressure. Out of 40 cultivars tested, three were found to be immune at Ibadan for two seasons and near Kano for one season in 1995. They were IT85F-2805, IT88S-584-1 and Tvu 1235. Six cultivars-IAR 48, IT81D-1228-14, IT83D-442, IT86D-1056, TVu 4031 and TVu 11067 showed resistant reactions at Kano and at Ibadan. The above nine cultivars have high yielding characteristics, therefore they could be adopted for cultivation by farmers where leaf smut severity is high.
