Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterrane

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean L. Verdc) is
an indigenous African crop grown across the continent from
Senegal to Kenya and from the Sahara to South Africa
(Atiku et al., 2004). Bambara groundnut is the third most
important grain after groundnut and cowpea (Ezeaku, 1994).
In separate reports by Ezue (1977) and Atiku (2000) it was
noted that in Nigeria bambara groundnut is widely produced
in Borno, Anambra, Plateau, Taraba, Sokoto, Bauchi,
Benue, Kano, Yobe, Adamawa and Gombe states.
