B.B. Singh wrote this book to serve as an accessible summary of cowpea breeding, management,and use. He has devoted his life's work to solving the \"\"protein gap\"\" of the Green Revolution in which the emphasis on corn and wheat neglected the protein-rich legumes vital to plant-based nutrition. Today,under his careful tending, cowpea truly has become the food legume of the century. From genetics to recipes, he gives a full account of how cowpea belongs in our global agriculture and in every diet. Along the way, he shares his inspiring story.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword ix \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrigin, Distribution, and Importance 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBotany and Physiology 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProduction Constraints 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGenetics and Breeding 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImproved Cowpea Cultivation and Seed Production 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCowpea Uses and Markets 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFuture Prospects of Cowpea 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected References 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author 169\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Agriculture \u0026amp; farming [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Agriculture \u0026amp; farming\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Agriculture%20\u0026amp;%20farming%20%5BTV%5D%22\"\u003eTV\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"ACSESS","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52410740211992,"sku":"9780891186212","price":32.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780891186212.jpg?v=1784250990","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/cowpea-the-food-legume-of-the-21st-century-hardback-9780891186212","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
