Genotype by environment interactions of twenty accessions of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] across two locations in Nigeria Open
The genotype × environment interaction (GxE) is a serious problem when comparing the performance of crop genotype across environments because it reduces the efficiency of the genetic gain through selection. GxE is said to occur when the re…
