Abstract
The relationship between the concentration of phenol in cowpea and fie ld resistance to the legume pod borer, Maruca testulalis, was determin ed in variably resistant cultivars. Phenol concentration varied signif icantly (P<0.05) between the different parts of the cultivars at the s ame growth stage, and generally decreased with increase in plant age. Despite the differences in phenol concentration between cultivars, cor relations showed that phenol does not play any significant role in cow pea resistance to M. testulalis,
