Evaluation <strong>of</strong> breeding lines for resistance to bacterial blight <strong>and</strong> viruses<br />

All the cowpea lines which seeds were multiplied <strong>and</strong> shared with NARS colleagues were tested in<br />

order to ascertain their resistance to bacterial blight <strong>and</strong> viruses in the greenhouse at Ibadan. The results<br />

showed that some <strong>of</strong> the lines are resistance to bacterial blight as well as virus diseases (see Table 5-8).<br />

Thirteen <strong>of</strong> the 50 breeding lines from IITA which included IT00K-1263, IT99K-1060, IT99K-1122 <strong>and</strong><br />

IT99K-1111-1 were highly resistant to bacterial blight, an important cowpea disease. The local line<br />

Danila which is drought tolerant also showed high level <strong>of</strong> resistance to the disease<br />
