Propriétés mécanique, hydrique et thermique de briques en terre crue amendées aux coques d’arachide
Ouanmini Bobet, Mohamed Seynou, Lamine Zerbo, Halidou Bamogo, Issiaka Sanou, Moustapha Sawadogo
Des briques de terre crue élaborées à base d’une argile locale ont été amendées aux coques d’arachide pour améliorer leur performance mécanique et leur durabilité. Les coques d’arachide ont été découpées à trois longueurs respectives de 0,33 cm, 1cm et 3cm et ajoutées à la matrice argileuse à des teneurs allant de 1,8 à 3 % en masse. Les briqu(...)

Phenotyping of local chili pepper (Capsicum spp) accessions cultivated in Burkina Faso
Lucienne WAONGO1*, Mariam KIEBRE, Boureima SAWADOGO , Mahamadi H OUEDRAOGO, Zakaria KIEBRE and Pauline BATIONO/KANDO
The cultivation of chili peppers (Capsicum spp.) in Burkina Faso has become an important occupation and a great source of incomes, helping farmers to fight against poverty. However, local cultivars have low yields, essentially because of the pest pressure and the limited access to improved seeds. This study aims to contribute to a better knowl(...)
