Analysis of Agroecological Innovations in Vegetable Farming in Burkina Faso
Raymond Kiogo, Patrice Zerbo, Aristide Sempore, Vianney W. Tarpaga, Soumaila Sourabie, Nadège A. Gue
Agroecological innovation can support vegetable farmers in responding to climate change and market instability, yet such innovations remain insufficiently documented, limiting their wider adoption. This study analysed agroecological innovations observed on vegetable farms in Burkina Faso with the aim of supporting their scaling up. Semi-struct(...)

Impact of social media platforms excessive use on students performance in higher education institutions: A mathematical model approach
Komi Afassinou, Narcisse Roland Loufouma Makala, Ousmane Koutou, Richard O. Ocaya, Maba Boniface Matadi
This article develops a compartmental mathematical model to investigate the impact of excessive social media use on the academic performance of higher education students. Students who are heavily subscribed are classified ‘infected or addicted’ individuals. Their influence on the other naive non-subscribers leading them to become one and by se(...)

Agronomic performance, genotype x environment interaction, and stability of leaf yield of Jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) in Burkina Faso
Mariam Kiébre, Jocelyne Wendpingrenoma Ouangraoua, Windinso Ouedraogo, Zakaridja Sawadogo, Karim AbdouTraore and Zakaria Kiébre
Jute mallow is a leafy vegetable cultivated in urban and peri-urban farming systems in Burkina Faso. This research aims to select high-yielding and stable Jute mallow genotypes through evaluation in three locations. To do this, 20 genotypes were tested at three locations across Burkina Faso. The agronomic data were subjected to two-way analysi(...)

Climate change, land-use intensification, and agroforestry management are key drivers of soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet their combined effects remain poorly understood. Using a hierarchical space-for-time substitution approach, we analysed 1,440 soil samples from protected areas, fallows, and croplands across fou(...)

Agronomic performance of Bambara groundnut genotypes [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc] under organic fertilization in the Sudano Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso
Adjima Ouoba, Ali Lardia Bougma, Dominique Nikiema, Diane J. Kambou, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Mahama Ouedraogo
In Burkina Faso, Bambara groundnut yields remain low in smallholder agrosystems, partly due to poor soil fertility and limited use of adapted genotypes. Integrating organic fertilization with the selection of high-performing genotypes may enhance crop productivity under Sudano-Sahelian conditions. This study evaluated the agronomic performance(...)

Contribution of Electrical Resistivity Tomography to the Characterization of Aquifers in a Sub-Outcrop Context in the Basement Zone of the Oubri Region (Burkina Faso)
Hoboubé Nicole Abotsi, Julien Nikiema, Mahama Sawadogo
Population growth and climate change are putting drinking water resources at risk, making groundwater a key solution to these challenges. In Burkina Faso, more than 80% of the geology consists of crystalline bedrock, which necessitates the search for bedrock aquifers for water supply. The complexity of these aquifers has led to numerous unsucc(...)
