Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a legume with a constant rate of cultivation in Southern European countries. Consumer demand for cowpea worldwide is rising due to its nutritional content, while Europe is constantly attempting to reduce the deficit in the production of pulses and invest in new, healthy food market products. Although the climatic conditions that prevail in Europe are not so harsh in terms of heat and drought as in the tropical climates where cowpea is mainly cultivated, cowpea confronts with a plethora of abiotic and biotic stresses and yield-limiting factors in Southern European countries. In this paper, we summarize the main constraints for cowpea cultivation in Europe and the breeding methods that have been or can be used. A special mention is made of the availability plant genetic resources (PGRs) and their potential for breeding purposes, aiming to promote more sustainable cropping systems as climatic shifts become more frequent and fiercer, and environmental degradation expands worldwide.

Weed interference periods in cowpea crop

et al. 2023

Cowpea is one of the pulse crops that present the highest potential for growing in the Semiarid region of Brazil. Lowcost vegetable protein source, it has resilience to adverse conditions, however, in competition with weeds, its productivity can be strongly compromised. To overcoming this situation, it is essential for integrated management programs to determine the critical period for preventing interference. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine weed interference periods and the effect of coexistence periods on cowpea grain yield in the Semiarid region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The treatments were arranged in a 2×9 factorial scheme, as follows: cultivation in coexistence with weeds and cultivation under weed control, for nine crescent periods (0-7, 0-14, 0-21, 0-28, 0-35, 0-42, 0-49, 0-56 and 0-63 days after crop emergence), in a randomized experimental block design with four replications. The weed community was studied through phytosociological survey and evaluation of dry matter production and cowpea was evaluated for dry matter production, 100-grain mass and grain yield. The interference periods were determined using a non-linear logistic regression model. The weed community found was composed of 70% dicotyledonous and 30% monocotyledon plants, distributed in seven families and ten species. The coexistence with weeds results in losses of up to 90% in cowpea grain yield. The critical period of weed control in cowpea crop in the Semiarid region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is 11 to 36 days after crop emergence.

“…Cowpea can be grown in different types of soil and is tolerant to conditions of low water availability (Osipitan et al., 2021). Different studies show that cowpea is a crop adapted to different edaphoclimatic conditions (Boukar et al., 2019; Carvalho et al., 2017; Sindhu et al., 2019) and has multiple uses.…”

Choosing the species suitable for cultivation in intercropped systems is a critical limiting factor for grain and forage production. This study aimed to evaluate the growth, nodulation, production, and physiology of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and guandu bean (Cajanus cajan) intercropped with buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and Eucalyptus urograndis (Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla) in an integrated production system. Two experiments were conducted simultaneously, arranged in a 2 × 4 factorial scheme. The first factor consisted of the use of two integrated production systems. The second factor consisted of four distances (2, 4, 6, and 8 m) from the eucalyptus planting rows. In the first experiment, crop-forest systems (CFIS: eucalyptus trees and cowpea) and crop-livestock-forest systems (CLFIS: eucalyptus trees, cowpea, and buffel grass) were evaluated. In the second, livestock-forest systems LFIS1 (eucalyptus trees and guandu bean) and LFIS2 (eucalyptus trees, guandu bean, and buffel grass) were evaluated. In cowpea, nodulation was not influenced by production systems and distances, whereas in guandu bean, there was a reduction in the nodules' number and dry mass with the distance from the trees. Higher growth, biomass production, and photosynthetic activity of cowpea and guandu bean were observed with the increasing distance from the eucalyptus planting rows. However, cowpea increased the 100-seed weight at 2 and 4 m distances from the eucalyptus rows, improving the grains' quality close to the trees. The simultaneous cultivation with buffel grass did not affect the leguminous plant yield, promoting greater diversification and increasing the total biomass production of the intercropping.
