Molecular Detection of blaCTX-M-G1, blaVIM blaIMP and mcr Genes in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Bacilli Isolated at Schiphra Protestant Hospital, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
KJ. ZONGO, I. TIENDREBEOGO, MR. YOUGBARE, TWC. OUEDRAOGO, H. OUEDRAOGO, L. TRAORE, M. SAVADOGO, FW. DJIGMA and J. SIMPORE
Background and Aim: Infectious diseases nowadays are caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria,
making their management both difficult and costly. In Gram-negative bacilli, several enzymes
particularly ESBLs and carbapenemases allow to counteract the antibiotic effect of nearly all β
lactams. This leads to a dilemma for clinicians who increa(...)

Stay-green potential and interannual stability of sweet-stalk sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] genotypes cultivated in Burkina Faso
Salif Berthé; Wendmanegda Hermann Tondé; Pingawindé Sawadogo; Josiane Tiendrebeog; , Djakaridja Tiama;, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Sweet stalk sorghum is grown in Burkina Faso primarily for its grain, forage, and sugar-rich stalks. However, its productivity is heavily reliant on rainfall, and the variability in annual precipitation significantly limits its contribution to household food security. In this context, identifying droughttolerant genotypes with stable performan(...)

Assessment of the humidity tolerance of onion (Allium cepa L.) cultivars grown in the field during the wet season
Alpha Sidy Traore, Jean Baptiste De La Salle Tignegre, Zakaria Kiebre, Sory Sissoko, John Rusagara Nzungize and Mahamadou Sawadogo
The study investigated how seasonal humidity patterns in 2020 influenced the survival, growth, and yield of different onion (Allium cepa L.) varieties. Relative humidity showed strong seasonal variation, starting at low and unstable levels from January to April (minimum 10 to 40%, maximum 40 to 80%), rising steadily from May to nearly 100%, an(...)

Farm Typology and Constraints to the Adoption of Agroecological Practices in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Mohamed Louré, Delwendé Innocent Kiba, Rasmata Nana & Nestor Pouya
Soil degradation and water scarcity pose a major challenge to agricultural production in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, these conditions are more acute in the north part of the country exhibiting a Sahelian climate. Applying the principles of ecology in agriculture appears to be an option to sustainably improve agricultural productivity(...)
