Cultivar-specific guidelines optimize mutation induction in cowpea, enhancing food security and resilience.
Our findings provide practical, cultivar-specific dose benchmarks for cowpea mutation breeding. Based on LD₅₀G, LD₅₀S, and RD₅₀H values, we recommend gamma irradiation doses of 200-250 Gy for Videza and 250-300 Gy for Songotra to maximize mutation induction while maintaining seed viability. These guidelines support the development of improved cowpea varieties for enhanced food security and agricultural resilience.
