“…Reddy et al (2011) stated that the genus Aspergillus was the most dominant among the prevalent genera of fungi isolated from some cereals and pulses. Similar results were obtained in a mycological study conducted with cowpea seeds in Africa (Houssou et al, 2009).…”

“…Some of these fungi species are usually found living as parasites or symbionts on different parts of many plants. Fungi species identified in this study have been credited to diversely form an association one way or the other with cowpeas as reported by Ajibade and Amusa (2001) who noted different species of fungi associated with several cultivars of cowpea; Houssou et al, (2008) and Bosah (2013) found these fungi on the various parts of cowpea. Kumar et al, (2004) reportedly identified some in association with cowpea seeds while Adandonon et al, (2004) found them causing stem rot in cowpea.…”

Cowpea a leguminous crop consumed by millions of people in Asia and sub-Sahara Africa often faces pre-and postharvest attack like fungal infection. Twelve cultivars of Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp obtained from International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Ibadan, Nigeria were investigated for fungal infection using pour plate technique and eleven fungal isolates were obtained from nine of the cultivars. Pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporium (cultivars IT8ID-994, IT98K-452-1); Alternaria alternata (cultivars IT98k-205-8, TVX3236, IT845-2246-4); Colletotrichum truncatum (cultivars IT86D-719, Ife brown, (IA4B45)244, IT90k-277-2) and Sclerotium rolfsii (cultivars Ife brown, (IA4B45)244, IT845-2246-4) was confirmed on these nine cultivars of cowpea showing varying percentage of disease occurrence. The incessant attack on cowpea plant both on the field and in storage calls for more research in the area of disease resistant varieties for the ever growing population.

“…Aqueous and organic extracts of plant materials such as viz. Tagetes minuta, Lippia javanica, Amaranthus spinosus and Vigna unguiculata have been successfully used against Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus (Houssou, et al, 2009;Katerere, Thembo, Vismer, Nyazema, & Gelderblom, 2010).…”
