Conteúdo: 	This paper discusses the constraints to cowpea production in Africa (including insect pests, diseases, plant parasitic weeds, drought, and heat, and the possibilities of overcoming some of these constraints through the application of biotechnology. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is an important food legume crop in the semi-arid regions of Africa. It is cultivated as a mixed crop, mainly with sorghum and millet, and forms a significant part of the diet of a large part of the African population. The major constraints to cowpea production are insect pests, diseases, plant parasitic weeds, drought, and heat.
