FROM 1978 to 2000 manly Conventional breeding without
farmers’ involvement
2000 to date combination of Conventional and molecular
breeding and farmers’ involvement through PRA and FPVS
Main achievements:
o Mapping of Striga gesnerioides resistance (Ouedraogo et al.,
2002)
o Development of SCAR Markers (Ouedraogo et al, 2012)
o MARS & MABC using SNP Markers (Laalsaga et al. 2015, Batieno
et al. 2016)
o Bt cowpea (pod borer resistant cowpea)
o Varieties released through FPVS are the most cultivated
Production increased from 100 000 T in 1978 to 600 000 T in 2013
Seeds production by public and private sectors
Well established seed enterprises due to AGRA funding
Government support
NGO’S and development projects
Large scale dissemination of cowpea production and
conservation technologies
Contact:Batieno Benoit joseph, PhD(00226)[email protected]
Screening methods for insect resistance (Pod bugs, Aphids, Thrips,
Maruca) available
Reduction in the number of insecticide spray (2-4 sprays depending
of the type of production)
Development and use of Bio pesticides
Integrated pest management
Triple bagging (PICS) technology developed for storage improvement
Development of new improved varieties
Dissemination of technologies
Support & organize cowpea value chains
Increase cowpea exportation
Adoption modern technologies

Cowpea breeding was established in 1978 through iita-safgrad
project at Kamboinse
From 1978 to date more than 30 varieties have been released and
some adopted
Most popular varieties are captured in table 1.
