Five aromatic plants against wild malaria vectors: an eco-friendly approach against Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations in Burkina Faso
Hamadou Konaté, Mahamoudou Balboné, Olivier Gnankiné and Moussa Namountougou
Background Vector control strategies have predominantly relied on the use of synthetic chemicals, leading
to the widespread of resistance among malaria vector populations. This growing resistance has prompted increased
interest in alternative control methods, particularly those based on plant-derived essential oils (EOs). The present
study(...)

Biology of the striped borer, Chilo zacconius Bleszynski (1970) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Burkina Faso
Kossi Latevi, Pélagie R. Nadinga, Delphine Ouattara, Innocent Sibiri Yaméogo, Olivier Gnankiné and Souleymane Nacro
Chilo zacconius is one of the main rice stem borers in Burkina Faso. A study was conducted on its biology under controlled conditions of 25.46 ±1 °C temperature, 75.94 ±4% relative humidity, and a 12-hour photoperiod. To do this, immature populations of the insect were sampled in rice fields at Bama, western Burkina Faso for mass rearing of th(...)

Allometry-based estimation of the wild custard-apple (Annona senegalensis Pers.) fruit biomass according to climate conditions in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Aboubacar Baba Zouré, Loyapin Bondé, Bassiaka Ouattara, AmadéOuédraogo
Annona senegalensis Pers. is a wild edible shrub species with high nutritional value. However, the species is poorly promoted across sub-Saharan Africa due to the lack of information about its productivity. This study aimed to: (i) identify the driving factors of the species’ fruit biomass and (ii) develop allometric models for estimating its(...)

Evaluation of silage quality of three sorghum varieties using in livestock systems of Burkina Faso
Barkwendé Jethro Delma, François Tapsoba, Nabèrè Ouattara, Gildas Marie Louis Yoda
This study aims to evaluate the physicochemical, microbiological and nutritional quality of silage from three improved sorghum varieties (Sariaso 14, Sariaso 15 and Sariaso 16) used in livestock farming systems in Burkina Faso. The sorghum stover were harvested after the grain harvest and ensiled with four treatments:
without additives, with(...)

Impact of land use and biophysical factors on natural populations of Senegalia macrostachya in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Hassane Ouédraogo, Anne Mette Lykke, Blaise Kabré, Benjamin Lankoandé , Amadé Ouédraogo
Senegalia macrostachya is a valuable shrub increasingly threatened in West Africa. The study aims to assess the impact of land use and biophysical factors on its population structure and diversity across Sudanian and Sudano-Sahelian climate zones in Burkina Faso. A total of 201 plots were sampled in three land use categories: farmlands, fallow(...)

Genetic diversity and relationships among sweet grain sorghum genotypes across agroclimatic zones revealed by SNP markers
Wendmanegda Hermann TONDÉ, Salif BERTHÉ, Patrice BALMA, Jacques OUÉDRAOGO, Tégawendé Odette BONKOUNGOU, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO
Sweet grain sorghum is exploited in Burkina Faso through the consumption of fresh grains early at the doughy stage. To identify, valorise and conserve the genetic diversity of this agricultural resource, SNPs markers are essential tools. The aim of the present study is to assess the genetic diversity of sweet grain sorghum expressed in a linea(...)

Impact of organic and mineral fertilizers on the growth and biomass production of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) in Burkina Faso
Sidnoma Marie Emeline Vanessa Sompougdou, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Philippe Bayen, Caroline Bassono
Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) is one of the most leafy vegetables widely consumed in Burkina Faso. However, inappropriate input and unsuitable doses constitute a constraint to the optimal productivity of amaranth. This study aims to evaluate the effect of four organic fertilizers and two mineral fertilizers on the agromorphological perform(...)

Mapping of direct stakeholders in the livestock markets of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Mano K, Silga RP, Ouedraogo I, Ouadba SLR
In Burkina Faso, livestock is the second most important sub-sector of agriculture after crop production, contributing significantly to the national GDP and supporting over 80% of households. Live animal trade dominates livestock trading and plays a central role in regional commerce. Livestock markets constitute key hubs for trade, information(...)

DIVERSITY IN PHENOTYPIC TRAITS OF PEARL MILLET LANDRACES CONSERVED AT ICRISAT-NIGER AND BURKINA FASO GENEBANKS
L.A. BOUGMA, A. OUOBA, C. ZERBO, M.H. OUÉDRAOGO, N. SAWADOGO and M. SAWADOGO
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important crop for populations in arid and semi-arid areas of Africa and India. In Burkina Faso, pearl millet is one of main cereal crops, well known for climate resilient features and nutritional transcendency. However, most cultivated genotypes are landraces, whose productivity is still low(...)

MANO, Komandan, Paténéma SAWADOGO, Yamba SINARE, Patricia SOUBEIGA, Rimwaodo Pierre SILGA, Magloire BOUNGOU, and Awa GNEME
In Burkina Faso, livelihoods rely strongly on the primary sector such as livestock farming. Owing to their high reproductive potential, rapid growth, and relatively low production costs, rabbit farming appeared increasingly as a sustainable source of income and animal protein. However, rabbits are frequently affected by parasitic infections, w(...)
