英文摘要	Cowpea is an important food and nutritional security grain legume crop in the semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Its production is limited by biotic factors including pre-harvest insect pests such as aphids. Aphids cause yield reductions, promotes the growth of sooty moulds, honeydew and as a result reduce photosynthetic processes and rates. Various methods have been deployed to try to control the damage of aphids in cowpea plants. The methods include the use of chemical insecticides, cultural, mechanical, biological controls and integrated pest management. However, these methods have not been very effective as smallholder farmers growing cowpea in marginal areas cannot afford them. Hence, host plant resistance/genetic control is the best and effective method for controlling aphids in cowpea plantations. Breeding for aphid resistance is one of the effective methods that can sustain the production and productivity of the cowpea for longer periods. Furthermore, assessing the presence of genetic diversity can also help in sourcing genes of novelty for addressing this important issue to increase the production and productivity of the crop. Recently, scientists have used various strategies to try to solve the challenge of aphid damage on cowpea. The objective of this review was to document the research progresses on aphid resistance breeding of cowpea to facilitate the breeding and conservation of cowpea germplasm. The review serves as a baseline information to guide future cowpea breeding for resistance to aphids.
