Synopsis "Bioecology of Maruca vitrata in Cowpea"
Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (Linnaeus) Walpers [Syn. Vigna sinensis (Linnaeus)] is one of the pulses belonging to family Fabaceae/Papilionaceae and sub-family Faboidae/Papilionoidae and also known as black-eyed bean or southern pea in English while chola or choli, chavli, lobia in vernacular languages in India.
