Local Knowledge, Perceptions and Uses Values of Senna obtusifolia (L.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby, an Invasive Native Plant Species in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Alhassane Zare, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traore, Bossila Seraphin Hien, Loyapin Bonde, Oumarou Ouedraogo
Invasive species are known to be a threat to agriculture and biodiversity. Thus, many studies have focused on the negative ecological impacts of invasive species, while their importance to livelihoods and human well-being has received little attention. This study aimed to explore people's ethno-ecological knowledge about the invasion of Senna(...)

Characterizing sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) varieties diversity to identify those with contrasting traits of interest for intercropping systems in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of West Africa
Ganeme A, Kondombo CP, Raboin L-M, Dusserre J, Kabore R, Adam M, Traoré S
Sorghum is an important staple crop in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the Sudano-Sahelian zone of
West Africa, sorghum is mainly intercropped with cowpea, but these intercropping systems
are facing low-productivity problems. The overall aim of this research was to identify sorghum
varieties with different agro-morphological and physiological traits(...)

Amendment with Burkina Faso phosphate rock‑enriched composts alters soil chemical properties and microbial structure, and enhances sorghum agronomic performance
SAGNON Adama, IWASAKI Shinya , TIBIRI Ezechiel Bionimian, ZONGO Nongma Armel, COMPAORE Emmanuel, BONKOUNGOU Isidore Juste O , NAKAMURA Satoshi, TRAORE Mamoudou, BARRO Nicolas, TIENDREBEOGO Fidèle and SARR Papa Saliour
Low soil available phosphorus (P) severely limits crop production in sub‑Saharan Africa. The present
study evaluated phosphate rock‑enriched composts as locally available low‑cost fertilizers for
sorghum production. The treatments consisted of sorghum straw, compost (COMP), phosphate rock
(BPR), BPR‑enriched compost (P‑COMP), BPR‑rhizospher(...)

Woody stems and leaves to improve soil faunal activity and nutrient cycling in cropping systems !
Daouda Guébré, Salifou Traoré , Edmond Hien
Agroecological practices are emerging as efficient alternatives to address the challenge of sustainable agriculture. The objective of this study was to examine whether plant residue amendments from stems and leaves (SL) of an agroforestry shrub (Piliostigma reticulatum) enriched with nitrogen (N) sources improve nutrient cycling in Soudano-Sah(...)

Méthodes de conservation des fourrages : qualités nutritives et performances des ovins en embouche paysanne
Sanfo A, Zampaligre N, Kere M, Kulo AE, Some S and Traore K
L’alimentation constitue la contrainte majeure de l’élevage des ruminants au Burkina
Faso. Les résidus culturaux sont utilisés pour une complémentation en saison sèche.
Cependant, leur valorisation est limitée du fait de leur faible qualité nutritive due en
partie aux mauvaises conditions de conservation. L’étude a été menée pour évaluer(...)

Preventing households from food insecurity in rural Burkina Faso: Does non-farm income matter?
SEOGO Windinkonté
Engaging in nonfarm activities has been considered an
important strategy to increase household income in rural
Burkina Faso. However, the empirical evidence on how income
from nonfarm activities contributes to household food security
in the country is limited. Relying on nationwide household
panel data and an instrumental variable approac(...)

Enhancing food production to prevent households from food insecurity in rural Burkina Faso: Does land ownership matter?
SEOGO Windinkonté
Purpose – This paper assesses the effect of land ownership on household food security through its
productivity enhancement effect in rural Burkina Faso.
Design/methodology/approach – As the link between land tenure security and productivity is indirect, the
study relies on a complex mixed process regression model with robustness to assess t(...)

Effects of Ecological Factors on Population Status and Morphological Traits of Faidherbia albida (Del.) A. Chev. in Burkina Faso
Traoré Innocent Charles Emmanuel, Bondé Loyapin, Hien Bossila Séraphin, Zaré Alhassane, Doré Djaka,Ouédraogo Oumarou
Faidherbia albida (Del.) A. Chev. is a key agroforestry parklands species providing provisioning and regulating ecosystem services to people. Therefore, sustainable management and conservation of the species populations are great challenges on its distribution area. However, the species response to spatial variability of ecological conditions(...)

Conservation Agriculture in West and Central Africa
Lamourdia Thiombiano, Kalifa Coulibaly, Saidi Mkomwa Kofi Boa, Robert B. Zougmoré, Oumarou, Balarabe, Traoré Salifou, Sylla Halimatu
Conservation Agriculture (CA) practices are not new to the West and Central Africa (WCA) region, though the combination of the three main components of CA is innovative. This chapter describe the main challenges in the adoption of CA while highlighting the diversity of practices related to soil, environmental and farm management practiced in t(...)

Conservation des sols dans les agrosystèmes sahéliens : quelle est l’efficience des amendements ligneux sur les services écosystémiques des légumineuses ?
Daouda Guébré, Salifou Traoré, Seydou Nonkagné, Edmond Hien,
La dégradation continue des sols et la baisse de leur fertilité constituent de sérieuses menaces pour le
développement agricole et la sécurité alimentaire. Afin de contribuer à la gestion durable des sols,
des pratiques agroécologiques telles que l’épandage de bois et rameaux fragmentés (BRF) de

Nutrient cycling and microbial responses to termite and earthworm activity in soils amended with woody residues in the Sudano-Sahel
Salifou Traore , Daouda Guebre, Edmond Hien , Mamoudou Traore , Nathan Lee , Nicola Lorenz , Richard P. Dick
Termites and earthworms are the main groups of invertebrates in dry tropical ecosystems and exert significant
effects on bioturbation and soil reorganization. The dynamics of microbial communities, enzymes and substrates
associated with the flux of energy and nutrients induced by their diverse biogenic structures are still underinvestigated(...)

The genomes of crossbred (admixed) individuals are a mosaic of ancestral haplotypes formed by recombination in each generation. The proportion of these ancestral haplotypes in certain genomic regions can be responsible for either susceptibility or tolerance against pathogens, and for performances in production traits. Using a medium-density ge(...)
