Trials were conducted in Kano, northern Nigeria, during 1996 and 1997 cropping seasons to determine the influence of date of planting and two well-timed insecticides sprays on the incidence of major insect pests namely, the legume pod-borer, Maruca vitrata Fab., legume flower thrips, Megalurothrips sjostedti Trybom, complex of pod-sucking bugs and cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch and their effect on grain yield of elite cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) cultivars from International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) breeding programme. Six cultivars were planted at 4 different dates between 13 June and 12 August 1996 whilst 12 cultivars were planted at 5 different dates between 5 June and 12 August 1997 with and without insecticid...
