Estimates of pod length heritability and efficiency of selection at early generation as a tool for developing a new cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) cultivars under drought stress
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Crop Science - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Ultimate aim of any breeder is to develop hybrid with high pod yield, particularly under stress environment. Selection for these traits in cowpea will be more appropriate in the early generation of hybridization under water stress.
