Patrice Bazongo, Lassané Ouédraogo, Béatrice Tinguéri, Martin Kiendrebeogo, Nicolas Barro
Balanites aegyptiaca fruits come in various shapes, which can be beneficial for breeding and industrial production purposes. This study aimed to estimate the morphological and biochemical variability of the fruit and seed kernel of B. aegyptiaca based on their shape. Six shapes, namely BLS (big long sharp), BSR (big sharp round), SLR (small lo(...)

Identification et distribution des espèces de courges (Cucurbita sp) cultivées au Burkina Faso
SOUMBOUGMA Benoît ; KABRE V. Nicodème ; KABORE Boukaré ; BATIONO/KANDO Pauline
Le genre Cucurbita regroupe des espèces polyvalentes dont les fruits et parfois
les graines oléagineuses et les feuilles sont utilisées à diverses fins. Il est peu
calorique et constitue une importante source de revenus. Malgré le grand
potentiel de production et d’utilisation de courges, peu d’attention lui est
accordé par la communauté s(...)

e taro est une plante alimentaire produite principalement pour ses cormes
riches en nutriments. Cependant, à cause de sa multiplication exclusivement
végétative, sa base génétique est faible, le rendant vulnérable aux contraintes
de la production agricole. En vue de contribuer à la sauvegarde et à la
valorisation de cette ressource phytogé(...)

Spatial and temporal characteristics of laboratory-induced Anopheles coluzzii swarms: Shape, structure, and flight kinematics
Bèwadeyir Serge Poda, Antoine Cribellier, Lionel Feugère, Mathurin Fatou,Charles Nignan, Domonbabele Francois de Sales Hien, Pie Muller, Olivier Gnankine´, Roch Kounbobr Dabire´, Abdoulaye Diabate´, Florian T. Muijres, and Olivier Roux
Malaria mosquitoes mate in swarms, but how these swarms are formed and maintained remains poorly understood. We characterized three-dimensional spatiotemporal flight kinematics of Anopheles coluzzii males swarming at sunset above a ground marker. The location, shape, and volume of swarms were highly stereotypic, consistent over the complete sw(...)

Assessment of Fungi Infection on Clarias anguillaris (Linnaeus, 1758) and Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758), Two Fish Species Farmed in Burkina Faso
Komandan Mano, Fidèle L. B. Lamboni, Roger Ouedraogo, Noellie W. Kpoda, Justine Kabore, Kounbo Dabire, Elise Sanon, Awa Gneme
Worlwide, fungi are by far the most common pathogen in fish farming. They are responsible of important economic losses in the fishery sector. However, in Burkina Faso knowledge of fungi infecting farmed fish are scarce. As a consequence, the prevalence as well as the effect of these pathogens are not known. A study was carried out on fungal in(...)

Enhancing the use of phosphate rock through microbially-mediated compost transformation to improve agronomic and economic profitability in sub-Saharan Africa
Adama Sagnon, Mamoudou Traore, Ezechiel Bionimian Tibiri, Saïdou Zongo, Isidore Juste O Bonkoungou, Satoshi Nakamura, Nicolas Barro, Fidele Tiendrebeogo, Papa Saliou Sarr
Soil degradation and limited access to chemical fertilizers partly explain the persistently low crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa. To provide local farmers with alternative fertilizer options, this study examined the impact of locally sourced fertilizers on sorghum productivity and soil health. Treatments were set up in a completely randomized(...)

Influence of fruit traits and seed provenance on the seed germination of Saba senegalensis (A. DC.) Pichon in Burkina Faso: implications for the domestication.
Blaise Kabré, Benjamin Lankoandé, Aboubacar‑Oumar Zon, Hassane Ouédraogo, Amadé Ouédraogo
Saba senegalensis fruits provide an important subsistence and income source for people in West African Sahelian areas. However, the increasing pressure on ecosystems is causing substantial damage to plants, which could result in a serious threat to the species. It is therefore crucial to develop successful strategies for its conservation. This(...)
