 Hello, this is Frank from Ghana, a student beneficiary of the Beneficiary Fund project. Stryger is an important constraint to the production of cowpea here in Ghana. Their infestation could lead up to 100% yield losses. As part of the Beneficiary Fund project, I visited Timco Lab, one of the Stryger research labs in the United States, where we were able to identify several cowpea recombinant inbred lines with multiple resistances to the different races of the parasitic reed. Some of these cowpea genotypes have been released as varieties here in Ghana and could be used to further improve local lines with superior characteristics. Our edge government, corporate bodies, individuals to come aboard and support and support cowpea research towards poverty, alleviation, and full security.
