Résumé

Land degradation associated with soil moisture and fertility stresses and declining agricultural productivity are negatively impacting crop production in the sudano-sahelian agroecological zone of West Africa, particularly in the Centre-West Region of Burkina Faso. In this part of the country, sorghum-cowpea intercropping is one of the major cropping systems. The objective of this study was to assess farmers’ perception of sorghum and cowpea production in intercrop system under tillage methods and organo-mineral fertilizers and their consent to adopt technologies from research in the Centre-West Region of Burkina Faso. To achieve such objective, a survey involving 82 sorghum-cowpea producers selected from three (03) villages was realized using a semi-structured questionnaire. Sixty-three (63%) of the interviewed farmers consented to adopt any production practice that combined tillage and cropping system with fertilization which will help them
