Biology of the striped borer, Chilo zacconius Bleszynski (1970) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Burkina Faso
Kossi Latevi, Pélagie R. Nadinga, Delphine Ouattara, Innocent Sibiri Yaméogo, Olivier Gnankiné and Souleymane Nacro
Chilo zacconius is one of the main rice stem borers in Burkina Faso. A study was conducted on its biology under controlled conditions of 25.46 ±1 °C temperature, 75.94 ±4% relative humidity, and a 12-hour photoperiod. To do this, immature populations of the insect were sampled in rice fields at Bama, western Burkina Faso for mass rearing of th(...)

Five aromatic plants against wild malaria vectors: an eco-friendly approach against Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations in Burkina Faso
Hamadou Konaté, Mahamoudou Balboné, Olivier Gnankiné and Moussa Namountougou
Background Vector control strategies have predominantly relied on the use of synthetic chemicals, leading
to the widespread of resistance among malaria vector populations. This growing resistance has prompted increased
interest in alternative control methods, particularly those based on plant-derived essential oils (EOs). The present
study(...)

Allometry-based estimation of the wild custard-apple (Annona senegalensis Pers.) fruit biomass according to climate conditions in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Aboubacar Baba Zouré, Loyapin Bondé, Bassiaka Ouattara, AmadéOuédraogo
Annona senegalensis Pers. is a wild edible shrub species with high nutritional value. However, the species is poorly promoted across sub-Saharan Africa due to the lack of information about its productivity. This study aimed to: (i) identify the driving factors of the species’ fruit biomass and (ii) develop allometric models for estimating its(...)

Study of the solar energy potential in the City of Mamou (Republic of Guinea)
Mariama Bah, Abdourahmane Diallo, Ramatou Saré, Abdoul Kadri Diallo, Mohamed Nfaoui, Hambaliou Baldé and Issa Zerbo
The Republic of Guinea, like other intertropical countries, receives significant levels of global solar irradiance. However, accurate quantification of local solar energy potential is essential for its optimal utilization. In this study, the solar energy potential of the City of Mamou (Republic of Guinea) was assessed using three methods for a(...)

Application d’un biotraitement membranaire à l’abattement de la teneur en micropolluants d’une eau usée synthétique
Jean de Dieu Zongo, Yacouba Sanou
Les effluents des stations d'épuration contiennent des polluants organiques, inorganiques et microbiens, représentant une source majeure de contamination des eaux et des sols. Ce travail vise à étudier le biotraitement des eaux usées en vue d’éliminer le bisphénol A (BPA), la demande chimique en oxygène (DCO), l’ammonium (NH4+) et les ortho-ph(...)

Ouagadougou SUMO traffic scenarios for urban mobility.
Emile NANA, Ferdinand Tonguim GUINKO
In our work, we are attempting to predict urban traffic congestion in order to address issues related to urban mobility. We believe that congestion situations have upstream causes that significantly impact urban traffic flow. Thus, to resolve the problem of traffic congestion, there are intermediate steps that allow us to understand the traffi(...)

Impact of land use and biophysical factors on natural populations of Senegalia macrostachya in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Hassane Ouédraogo, Anne Mette Lykke, Blaise Kabré, Benjamin Lankoandé , Amadé Ouédraogo
Senegalia macrostachya is a valuable shrub increasingly threatened in West Africa. The study aims to assess the impact of land use and biophysical factors on its population structure and diversity across Sudanian and Sudano-Sahelian climate zones in Burkina Faso. A total of 201 plots were sampled in three land use categories: farmlands, fallow(...)

Temporal and spatial variability in photosynthetic activity of Vitellaria paradoxa in agroforestry parklands of Burkina Faso
Flavien G. B. Sawadogo, Hugues R. Bazié, Paulin Bazié, Martin Karlson, Madelene Oswald and Jules Bayala
The Vitellaria paradoxa is a key woody species in sub-Saharan Africa, supporting the livelihood of over 18.4 million people—particularly women. However, its survival and productivity are increasingly threatened by climate change, characterized by raising temperatures and reduced water availability. The species’ future resilience will depend on(...)

Genetic diversity and relationships among sweet grain sorghum genotypes across agroclimatic zones revealed by SNP markers
Wendmanegda Hermann TONDÉ, Salif BERTHÉ, Patrice BALMA, Jacques OUÉDRAOGO, Tégawendé Odette BONKOUNGOU, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO
Sweet grain sorghum is exploited in Burkina Faso through the consumption of fresh grains early at the doughy stage. To identify, valorise and conserve the genetic diversity of this agricultural resource, SNPs markers are essential tools. The aim of the present study is to assess the genetic diversity of sweet grain sorghum expressed in a linea(...)
