Effect of Supplementary Irrigation Water and Organic Matter Amounts on Tomato Yield and Water Productivity in a Semi-arid Climate
YANOGO Wendzoodo Amélie Pélagie, KIMA Aimé Sévérin, OUOBA Samuel, KIMA Etienne and SANDWIDI Béné-Wendé Bernice
Although promoted as an alternative to secure rain-fed agriculture, supplementary irrigation cannot ensure sustainable food production, regardless of the rational and optimal use of organic matter. Therefore, an experiment was set up in a sandy loam soil (bulk density =1.55 g/cm3; field capacity =18%; wilting point=1.4%) to determine the optim(...)

Cholera invasion speed and the intervention strength
Komi Afassinou, Ousmane Koutou, Narcisse Roland Loufouma Makala
We formulate a mathematical model which captures the essential dynamics of cholera infection transmission. Control interventions such as vaccination program and environmental sanitation service are incorporated to analyse the impact of both interventions on the infection dynamics. The qualitative and numerical analyses of the model are carried(...)

Evaluating Supplementary Irrigation Water Depths for Improving Land and Water Productivity under Grown Tomato in a Semi-Arid Climate, Burkina Faso
Yanogo Wendzoodo Amélie Pélagie, Kima Aimé Sévérin, Ouoba Samuel, Sandwidi Béné-Wendé Bernice, Kima Etienne
Abstract:
In the actual rainwater variability and the declining water resources context, the great challenge of agriculture in Burkina Faso is to produce more with less water. That may be possible through the optimal use of water in tomato production since the yield is decreasing while the demand is still increasing particularly in the rain(...)

Effects of Compost from Jatropha curcas on Soil Biochemistry and Microbial Community Diversity
Abdoul-Nassiré Derra ,Hemayoro Sama ,Barthelemy Yélémou ,Adama Hilou ,Mamoudou Hama Dicko
Agriculturally underutilized bioresources such as Jatropha curcas, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, may represent alternative low-cost fertilizers. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of different composts based on Jatropha curcas by-products on the biochemical and microbiological properties of soil. Composts based on J(...)

BOUGMA Moussa
L’enseignement supérieur est un facteur important de développement socioéconomique et de promotion sociale.
C’est sans doute pour cette raison que plusieurs auteurs mettent le capital humain à travers l’éducation,
notamment l’enseignement supérieur, au centre des déterminants de la croissance d’un pays et militent pour
cela en faveur d’un p(...)
