Effet du génotype et du type de substrat sur la germination des graines de gombo [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] au Burkina Faso
Ouédraogo MH, Bougma LA, Kiebré Z, Ouoba A, Traoré ND, Sawadogo N, Sawadogo M.
Okra seeds are characterised by poor emergence marked by almost systematic reseeding. Few small-scale producers use germination tests, which do not seem to be within their reach. Indeed, blotting paper is the main substrate used for okra germination tests in Burkina Faso. However, the possibility of using inexpensive sand as a substrate for ok(...)

Agro-physiological response of millet (Pennisetum glaucum (l.) r. br.) to water deficit when augmented with organic fertilization
Aboubacar Sory, Rasmata Nana, Abdoulazize Banhoro and Wendpang-Yidé Idrissa Caleb Ouedraogo
The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of water deficit on millet growth and yield parameters under fertilization conditions using laying hen droppings. To achieve this, a split-plot experiment with three replications was carried out, studying two main factors: Water regime (H0: normal watering, H1: 10-day suspension of watering(...)

Microbiological and Physicochemical Quality of Groundwater and Risk Factors for Its Pollution in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Oumar Traoré, Dissinviel Stéphane Kpoda, René Dembélé, Courage Kosi Setsoafia Saba, Johannes Cairns, Nicolas Barro, Kaisa Haukka
Ouagadougou is a city with three million inhabitants and an increasing demand for water
of sufficient quality. New boreholes are drilled to match demand, but their protection from anthropogenic contamination is insufficient. To assess the quality of urban groundwater in Ouagadougou for
the first time, a total of 32 borehole water samples we(...)

Introduction: Cervical cancer, caused by persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, remains a global public health problem. The cellular transformation and maintenance of the malignant phenotype of these
HPVs are attributed to the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7. Objective: This
study aims to detect the presence of human pap(...)

Assessment of the Aflatoxin Content of Maize Flours Produced in the Commune of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Adama Sawadogo, Raoul Bazié, Hama Cissé, Latifatou Helbi, Cheikna Zongo, Aly Savadogo
Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites present in various foods, especially when production and conservation do not respect good hygiene practices (GHP). In Ouagadougou, maize flour is produced and sold in different structures by actors who do not always respect GHP. Thus, it is necessary to regularly control the quality of these flours. So, this is(...)
