employing a tree effect gradient called a gradient based design with 4–7 replications for cowpea, millet, and sorghum. The experimental design included three plot locations based on their proximity to the eucalyptus trunk: one directly under the crown, another centred at 11 m, and a control plot situated 22 m away. Various parameters, such as(...)

Effect of irrigation patterns on agrophysiological responses of rice varieties in Burkina Faso
Salifou Kaboré , Dominique Nikiéma , Hugues R. Bazié, Adama P. Kihindo, Yapi I. Sinaré, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo and Gérard Zombré
Rice is a staple food worldwide and ranks fourth in dietary importance in Burkina Faso. However, national production remains insufficient to meet rising demand due
to inadequate rainfall, a critical constraint for this water-intensive crop. Water-efficient irrigation systems offer a promising solution to address water scarcity and improve

Agroecological or conventional farming? Assessing the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of two agricultural systems in the agroforestry parklands of Burkina Faso
Aïcha Tapsoba, Josias Sanou, Hugues Roméo Bazié and Madelene Ostwald
Enhancing food production is a requirement for food security, particularly in a developing context. Innovation and techniques to lower input cost is one aspect that
is needed to make the systems more resilient. Here we do a comparative costs and benefits analysis between agroecological and conventional farming practices in
agroforestry parkl(...)

Socio-ecological factors contributing to the use of slash-and-burn as cropland preparation practice in Burkina Faso
Pawend-taore Christian Bougma, Loyapin Bondé, Valaire Séraphin Ouehoudja Yaro , Bruno Nikiema , Oumarou Ouédraogo
Biomass burning (BB) is a widely practiced agricultural method for clearing cropland and a major source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, contributing to climate change (CC). Understanding the key socio-ecological factors influencing BB use and farmers’ knowledge of CC is crucial for decision-making on sustainable land management. This study(...)

Towards a framework for monitoring crop productivity in agroforestry parklands of the Sudano-Sahel using Sentinel-1 and 2 time series
Julianne Oliveira, Martin Karlson, Abraham Sotongo Ouédraogo, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Madelene Ostwald
The agroforestry parklands in the Sudano-Sahelian zone are of critical importance for food security, but face several challenges in terms of changes in climate and land use. The ability to systematically monitor crop productivity in these systems is therefore of importance for both informing land management policies and studying long-term tren(...)

A conceptual framework for the contextualization of crop model applications and outputs in participatory research
Timothée Cheriere, Katrien Descheemaeker, Gatien N. Falconnier, Aminata Ganeme, Juliette Lairez, · Hamado Sawadogo, · Myriam Adam
Contextualization of generic scientific knowledge to context-specific farmer knowledge is a necessary step in farmers’ innovation
process, and it can be achieved using crop and farm models. This work explores the possibility to simulate a large
number of scenarios based on farmers’ descriptions of their environment and practices in order to(...)

Statut social et perception paysanne sur les services écosystémiques dans deux zones phytogéographiques au Burkina Faso
Alexis Sompougdou, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Sibiry Albert Kaboré, Ismaîla Kinda, Idriss Sermé, and Hassan Bismarck Nacro
Les agroécosystèmes procurent de nombreux biens et services à plusieurs millions de personnes. Toutefois, au Burkina Faso, ils sont continuellement dégradés, impactant les moyens d’existence des populations rurales. L’objectif de cette étude était d’appréhender les perceptions des services écosystémiques, lesmécanismes, les approches de gestio(...)

Potentiel d’adaptation des associations sorgho-niébé au changement climatique en zone soudano-sahélienne
Aminata GANEME, Florian LARUE, Salifou TRAORE, Myriam ADAM
Dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Burkina Faso, les agriculteurs pratiquent l’association de culture pour diverses raisons dont la minimisation des risques climatiques. Notre étude a eu pour objectif d’évaluer la résilience des associations sorgho-niébé au changement climatique. Une étude a été menée en 2017 et 2018 à la station de recherche(...)

Comparative Effects of Organo-Mineral, Organic and Mineral Fertilizations on the Agronomic Performance of the Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Koulibi Fidèle ZONGO, Daouda GUEBRE, Sibiry Albert KABORE, Wendne Toumdé Victor ZONGO, Mahamadi KYELEM, Abdramane SANON, Asséta KOMONDI, Edmond HIEN
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) is a vegetable grown for its leaves, apples or flower. Its production ranks third after onions and tomatoes in Burkina Faso. However, the fertilizers used in its production limit its yield performance. With this in mind, the aim of the present study was to compare the effect of different fertilization regimes on(...)

The chilli pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is a highly prized and widely consumed vegetable throughout the world. In Burkina Faso, its production remains marginal, despite its numerous agronomic and economic potential. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of organic, mineral and organo-mineral fertilization on the agronomic performan(...)

Les rendements du voandzou dans les agrosystèmes au Burkina Faso demeurent faibles. Ce qui réduit le potentiel de la culture à contribuer efficacement à la résilience des populations face à l’insécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle. L’objectif de la présente étude est de connaitre les caractéristiques variétales et les performances agronomi(...)

Effets de la biomasse ligneuse sur la qualité du sol, la dynamique des adventices et les performances agronomiques du sorgho en contexte soudano-sahélien
Daouda Guébré, Aminata Tandyande & Edmond Hien
La biomasse ligneuse à base des Bois et Raméaux Fragmentés (BRF) constitue une alternative
viable pour augmenter la productivité des sols. Cependant, l’influence de la biomasse adventice
sur les performances des cultures suite à l’application des BRF, reste encore mal élucidée.

Larba Hubert Balima, Fabrice Ouoba, Blandine Marie Ivette Nacoulma, Philippe Bayen, Moussa Ganamé, Adjima Thiombiano
Tree height is an important ecological parameter for assessing biomass carbon accumulation rate and understanding the ontogenetic development of vascular plants. Given the lack of height measurement data, height–diameter allometric models are needed to improve carbon stock estimates. In this study, we investigated height–diameter relationships(...)
