Cowpea Research, Production, and Utilization
(Cowpea (also called Southernpea and Blackeyed Pea) is a h...)
Cowpea (also called Southernpea and Blackeyed Pea) is a highly nutritious crop particularly suited to the stressful growing conditions of tropical Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States. Intensive research programmes in centres around the world have, in recent years, greatly improved the crops' yield, our efficiency in growing it and methods of processing the end product. This book (the proceedings of the first International World Cowpea Research Conference) draws together the most current work on Cowpea taxonomy, genetics, physiology, pathology, breeding, entomology agronomy, nutrition and processing, and represents an invaluable source of information on cowpea improvement for agricultural researchers, administrators and funding agencies around the world.

Soybeans for the Tropics: Research, Production and Utilization
(Although the soybean has been successfully harvested in c...)
Although the soybean has been successfully harvested in commercial cultivation in the USA for sometime, in the developing world its cultivation and utilization have been restricted. This book reviews the constraints on soybean production and use in the tropics, where the yield is low, seed production has short viability, poor nodulation and a tendency to shatter easily when ripe. The book concentrates on the research necessary to overcome the existing inadequate qualities of the soybean grown in tropical conditions, highlighting the progress made on pest, disease and weed control, and agronomic practices. This book should be invaluable to researchers, administrators, policy-makers and health planners as an aid to understanding the value of soybean, its constraints and how to solve them.
