Sustainable Management of the Loumbila Dam Water Resource in Burkina Faso for Market Gardening: Diagnostic and Prospects, a Case Study
Yacouba Sanou, François Sawadogo
Nowadays, water resources face huge prob-lems such as climatic variability, natural disasters and human activities. Thus, demo-graphic growth not only leads to strong pres-sure on water resources but also conflicts of use and problems of water management in order to produce vegetables. This work aims to assess strengthen the participatory and(...)

Cassava mosaic disease in Burkina Faso: epidemiological aspects and disease management perspectives
Seydou Sawadogo, Fidèle Tiendrébéogo, Ezechiel B Tibiri, Florencia Djigma, Lassina Traoré, Justin S Pita, Angela O Eni
Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) is the main biotic constraint to cassava production in West Africa. In Burkina Faso, efforts are underway to manage it sustainably using classical surveillance, including field monitoring and laboratory diagnosis. However, this method has significant limitations that make it difficult to address early management. T(...)

Agronomic Performance and Nutritive Value of Six Dual-Purpose Cowpea Genotypes in Crop-Livestock Systems of Burkina Faso
Barkwendé Jethro Delma , Hamadou Sidibe , Gouwidida Elice Kabore , Ouédraogo Daouda , Blaise Nitiema and Mazou Bamogo
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is an important legume in Burkina Faso, used both for
human consumption and as livestock fodder. The country faces major challenges such as fodder
shortages. The objective of this study is to evaluate the agronomic performance, fodder biomass
and grain yield, as well as the nutritional value of six d(...)

Weed Responses to Agroecological Practices in Sorghum-Cowpea Intercropping Systems in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Safiatou Sanna, Djibril Yonli, Adama Zoungrana, Hamidou Traoré, Salifou Traoré
This study investigates how agroecological practices such as ridge tillage and
organic fertilization, influence weed species richness and development within
sorghum-cowpea intercropping systems in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Burkina
Faso. A split-split plot field experiment conducted over two cropping seasons
evaluated weed species richnes(...)

Effects of Spacing Between Stone Rows on the Chemical and Biological Fertility of Lixisoils in Eastern Burkina Faso
Aboubacar COULIBALY , Koulibi Fidèle ZONGO , Cheick Oumar ZOURE , Altini Natacha GOUMBRI , Daouda GUEBRE , Harouna OUEDRAOGO , Edmond HIEN and Mikael MOTELLICA
This study assessed the effects of stone-rows spacing on soil fertility and the potential for a fertility
gradient to occur in a farming setting. The study was conducted in a rural area of Sampieri, eastern
Burkina Faso, within a Sudano-Sahelian environment on Lixisols with a medium slope of up to 5%.
The experimental design included t(...)

Mise en jachère des terres et labour superficiel : quelle efficacité sur les indicateurs de la fertilité physique du sol ?
Daouda Guébré, Harouna Ouédraogo, Aminata Ganeme, Adama Ilboudo, Zédara Isaïs Boussim, Koulibi Fidèle Zongo, Edmond Hien
En Afrique subsaharienne, la pression démographique et la diminution des terres cultivables réduisent les périodes de jachère, ce qui nuit à la réhabilitation des terres dégradées. Cette étude examine le potentiel du labour superficiel comme alternative écologique au déficit de jachère dans un contexte semi-aride au Centre du Burkina Faso. Qua(...)

In Burkina Faso, maize (Zea mays L.) is the second most cultivated cereal. However, yields
remain low due to the decline in soil fertility inherent to several factors. This study was carried
out in order to valorize compost and quail droppings in maize production. It was carried out in a
greenhouse vegetation vase at French Research Inst(...)
