  We consider an N=1 SU(N_c) SUSY gauge theory with N_f \geq N_c matter
multiplets transforming in the fundamental and antifundamental representations
of the gauge group. Using the Konishi anomaly and a non-anomalous conservation
law, we derive a system of partial differential equations that determine the
low energy effective superpotential as a function of the mesonic and baryonic
vacuum expectation values. We apply the formalism to the cases of N_f = N_c and
N_f = N_c +1 where the equations are easily integrated and recover the known
results. We further apply the formalism to derive a system of partial
differential equations to determine the low energy effective superpotential for
the Seiberg dual theories. Finally we briefly discuss the associated matrix
models via the Dijkgraaf-Vafa conjecture.
