Introduction
• Plant breeders play crucial role in the agriculture value chain
• Breeders rely immensely on the existing variability within the germplasm for crop improvement

IARSAF SYMPOSIUM 2015 3
Introduction contd.
• Knowledge and magnitude of genetic control of variability are critical to the success of any breeding program
• Genetic analysis shows the gene effects underlying a trait of interest
• Heritability and genetic advance are important pointers to the gene action controlling a trait in crops

IARSAF SYMPOSIUM 2015 4
Justification
• Cowpea is highly important in human diet and livestock feed due to its high protein content.
• Nigeria is the largest cowpea producer, accounting for 61% and 58% of total Africa and world production respectively.

IARSAF SYMPOSIUM 2015 5
Justification contd.
• Yet Nigeria is the highest consumer and importer of the crop (Lowenberg-DeBoer and Ibro, 2008).
• Therefore, it is important that research aimed at enhancing the development of high performing cowpea varieties be encouraged in west and central Africa

IARSAF SYMPOSIUM 2015 8
Materials and Methods contd.
• Data were collected on pod, seed and dry fodder yield.
• And subjected to combined ANOVA• The genotypic and phenotypic variances and
coefficients of variation were determined• Broad-sense heritability and expected genetic
advance were estimated

IARSAF SYMPOSIUM 2015 12
Conclusion• High genetic variability a pointer to potentials for
cowpea improvement• The combination of heritability and genetic advance
gives better accuracy in predicting the selected value for a trait.
• Dry fodder yield alone combined high heritability with high genetic advance which indicates high additive genetic variance for the trait.
• IT99K-494-6 and IT98K-573-2-1 could serve as good parent stock
