Dynamics of sudanian pastures: the case of Niassa pastoral zone in Burkina Faso
Bambara GT, Kiema A, Bougouma-Yameogo VMC, Ouedraogo A and Sanfo A
In Burkina Faso, as in other Sahelian countries, natural pastures are a key element in managing livestock productivity, as they are the main source of feed. This is why, after the droughts of 1970, the government of Burkina Faso
created pastoral zones to boost livestock productivity. However, the results of this project remain unsatisfactory.(...)

Evaluation of the agricultural practices and impacts of chemical inputs on the rapid rotting of vegetables of LactuCa sativa L. (lettuce) in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)
SANOU Yacouba
In Burkina Faso, chemical inputs are used widely in market gardening to increase the yields in the production of vegetables. Most of time, the use of these chemicals causes contamination of market garden products, leading to the rapid rotting of these vegetables. The objective of this study was to help in determination of the chemical inputs i(...)

Sorghum and cowpea intercropping response to woody residue amendments in Sahelian agro-ecosystems of Burkina Faso
Daouda Guebre, Salifou Traore, Koulibi Fidele Zongo, Edmond Hien
In West African agro-ecosystems, soils are inherently low in soil organic carbon decreasing the capacity of soils to
sustain crop productivity. Woody Residues instead of being burnt or exported out of the cropping systems, can be
managed to optimize soil organic carbon build-up, nutrient cycling and crop productivity. The aim of this study(...)

Ethnobotanical survey to evaluate the endogenous knowledge and consequences of Taro Leaf Blight (TLB) in Sudanian climatic zone of Burkina Faso
Renan Ernest Traoré, Marie Claire Cécé, Nicolas Ouédraogo, Gabin Korbéogo
Leaf blight caused by Phytophthora colocasiae poses a significant threat to taro production in the
Sudanian climatic zone of Burkina Faso. This study aims to assess producers' knowledge about the
disease, its consequences, and field management practices. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted
among taro producers between June and July 20(...)

Participatory investigation of goat farmers’ breeding practices, trait preferences and selection criteria in Burkina Faso
Akounda Badjibassa, Dominique Ouédraogo, Pamela Anna Burger, Benjamin D. Rosen, Curtis P. Van Tassell, Johann Sölkner & Albert Soudré
The community-based breeding program (CBBP) is an innovative approach recommended for genetic improvement and sus- tainable use of animal genetic resources in extensive farming systems. Successful implementation of this approach requires an understanding of the characteristics of production systems, breeding objectives, and farmers’ trait pref(...)

Influence des changements agraires sur la dynamique paysagère autour des aires protégées du complexe Pô-Nazinga-Sissili au Burkina Faso
Adama Zoungrana, Marjolein Visser, Charles de Cannière, Pingdewindé Carine Ouédraogo, Babou André Bationo & Salifou Traoré
La compréhension des moteurs de la fragmentation paysagère est indispensable pour réduire l’impact de l’anthropisation des habitats et mieux préserver la biodiversité. Cependant, l’écologie du paysage seule ne permet pas de cerner l’influence des changements agraires sur la dynamique paysagère. Cette étude adopte donc une approche systémique q(...)

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walpers] intercropping improves grain yield, fodder biomass, and nutritive value.
Sanfo A, Zampaligré N, Delma JB, Kulo AE, Ouédraogo A, Esteban F. R, Jose´ D, Ken BJ and Adegbola A
Burkina Faso livestock feeding is characterized by a hot dry season fodder deficit,
which affects animal performance and causes economic losses. To overcome this
challenge, improving quality fodder production through the use of dual-purpose
crops is a potential alternative. Hence, this study aimed at testing dual-purpose
cultivars of sorgh(...)
