Abstract

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L) Verdc.) is a drought tolerant underutilised indigenous African legume. The present study aimed to examine the response of bambara groundnut under increasing drought stress and the effects of cumulative mild drought on final yields. The components of morpho-physiological traits were measured for a small F5 breeding cross of bambara groundnut exposed to progressive mild drought in controlled-environment tropical glasshouses....
