Striga gesnerioides is one of the major constraints to cowpea production in West Africa. In Burkina Faso, Striga is a national phenomenon despite the control measures proposed by research. This study aims to collect farmers' perceptions of S. gesnerioides. Thus, a survey was conducted among cowpea producers in 15 localities across the four agr(...)

Les techniques scripturaires du postmodernisme à travers Murambi, le livre des ossements de Boubacar Boris Diop
TIAHO Lamoussa
Les écrivains africains, en s’ouvrant de plus en plus au reste du
monde, n’hésitent pas à emprunter certaines nouvelles techniques de
création qui semblent avoir fait leurs preuves ailleurs. C’est bien
entendu, le cas de la pratique du postmodernisme dans le processus de
création littéraire. Au-delà de la polémique inhérente à la définitio(...)

Evaluation of different blood‑feeding frequencies on Glossina palpalis gambiensis performance in a mass‑rearing insectary
Karifa Camara, Kadidiata Ilboudo, Ernest Wendemanegde Salou and Geoffrey Gimonneau
Background: The main challenge to the successful mass-rearing of the tsetse fly in insectaries, especially in Africa, is
a sustainable supply of high-quality blood meals. As such, the collection of high-quality blood in large quantities can
be an important constraint to production. One possible strategy to lessen the impact of this constrain(...)

Silga Rimwaodo Pierre; Ouéda Adama, Ouédraogo Idrissa, Mano Komandan, Weesie, Peter D.M. & Kabré Gustave Boureima
In this paper, we perform a bibliometric analysis of published climate change research in Burkina Faso
for the period of 1987 to 2018. More specifically, this article aims at (1) revealing the temporal, and
categorical patterns in climate change research; (2) summarizing the global research trends from
multiple perspectives; and (3) prov(...)

Experimental study on performance and combustion analysis of a diesel engine fueled with Diesel and Jatropha oil blended with heptane
Yomi Woro Gounkaou, Tizane Daho, Ali Diane, Gilles Vaitilingom, Bruno Piriou, Jeremy Valette, Oumar Sanogo, Antoine Béré
This work focuses on blending Jatropha oil with diesel fuel and heptane to improve its physico-chemical characteristics for production of blends and their use as fuel in a diesel engine. The influence of the heptane content was evaluated by comparing the results obtained from the engine (performance and combustion parameters) with those of the(...)

Comparative study of the effects of Herbal and chemical Coagulants in the clarification of raw water
Anderson F. Konkobo, Mamounata Diao, Paul W. Savadogo, Jean Diarra and Mamoudou H. Dicko
The use of aluminum sulphate in clarifying raw waters raises many concerns about its impact on human health. Thus, the present study was initiated to compare the effects of Moringa oleifera and aluminum sulphate besides evaluating the association between M. oleifera or aluminum sulphate with Opuntia ficus-indica or syntofloc for water treatmen(...)

Utopie de la clôture et intégration locale : les rédemptoristines de Diabo (Burkina Faso)
Kaboré Koudbi
La vie contemplative paraît à première vue incompatible avec celle en société. La pratique de la clôture au sein des communautés contemplatives n’empêche pourtant pas que des
liens se nouent entre les monastères et les sociétés locales. Ce sont ces liens qu’analyse cet article depuis l’arrivée des moniales contemplatives à Diabo à l’est du Bu(...)

Propriétés mécanique, hydrique et thermique de briques en terre crue amendées aux coques d’arachide
Ouanmini Bobet, Mohamed Seynou, Lamine Zerbo, Halidou Bamogo, Issiaka Sanou, Moustapha Sawadogo
Des briques de terre crue élaborées à base d’une argile locale ont été amendées aux coques d’arachide pour améliorer leur performance mécanique et leur durabilité. Les coques d’arachide ont été découpées à trois longueurs respectives de 0,33 cm, 1cm et 3cm et ajoutées à la matrice argileuse à des teneurs allant de 1,8 à 3 % en masse. Les briqu(...)

Phenotyping of local chili pepper (Capsicum spp) accessions cultivated in Burkina Faso
Lucienne WAONGO1*, Mariam KIEBRE, Boureima SAWADOGO , Mahamadi H OUEDRAOGO, Zakaria KIEBRE and Pauline BATIONO/KANDO
The cultivation of chili peppers (Capsicum spp.) in Burkina Faso has become an important occupation and a great source of incomes, helping farmers to fight against poverty. However, local cultivars have low yields, essentially because of the pest pressure and the limited access to improved seeds. This study aims to contribute to a better knowl(...)
