Dynamics of sudanian pastures: the case of Niassa pastoral zone in Burkina Faso
Bambara GT, Kiema A, Bougouma-Yameogo VMC, Ouedraogo A and Sanfo A
In Burkina Faso, as in other Sahelian countries, natural pastures are a key element in managing livestock productivity, as they are the main source of feed. This is why, after the droughts of 1970, the government of Burkina Faso
created pastoral zones to boost livestock productivity. However, the results of this project remain unsatisfactory.(...)

Réponses des interactions sorgho-niébé suivant un gradient de fertilisation minérale.
GUEBRE Daouda, GANEME Aminata, OUÉDRAOGO Harouna, Edmond Hien
Les sols de la zone soudano-sahélienne sont caractérisés par une faible teneur en éléments nutritifs, se traduisant par une baisse de la production agricole. Les
associations sorgho-niébé constituent une alternative fiable mais leur efficacité reste tributaire de la teneur initiale en nutriments des sols. Ainsi, une fertilisation minérale(...)

Development of a model for estimating the biomass of pastures using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI): the case of the Niassa pastoral zone in Burkina Faso
Ghislain Tontibomma BAMBARA, André KIEMA, Valérie M.C. BOUGOUMA-YAMEOGO, Abroulaye SANFO and Wièmè SOME
In Burkina Faso, livestock feeding is based on pasture productivity, which is a key factor in managing livestock productivity. As such, this management requires a good knowledge of pastures. However, the high cost of producing pasture data and the inaccessibility of pastures due to insecurity mean that there is a low availability or lack of da(...)

Effect of combinations organic and mineral fertilizers on the growth and productivity performance of two sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) varieties grown in Burkina Faso
Badoua Badiel, Tchoa Koné, Edmond Dondassé, Moctar Diarra, Hugues Roméo Bazié
In Burkina Faso, 85% of soils are leached tropical ferruginous soils with concretions, poor in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This soil poverty significantly reduces crop productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of organic and mineral fertilizer combinations on the growth and productivity performance(...)

Assessment of the Influence of zaï, Stone Rows, and Organo-mineral Fertiliser on Soil Properties and Groundnut Yields Performances in Sudan Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Harouna Ouédraogo, Edmond Hien, Yacouba Diallo, Poulouma Louis Yaméogo and Udo Nehren
Groundnut occupies a vital position in oilseed crop production in Burkina Faso, with current production at 630,526 tonnes. However, its production faces threats from drought and low soil fertility. This study aims to determine the influence of zaï, stone rows, ridge tillage, and mineral fertilisation on soil health and on groundnut yields perf(...)

Evaluation of the agricultural practices and impacts of chemical inputs on the rapid rotting of vegetables of LactuCa Sativa L. (lettuce) in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)
Yacouba Sanou
In Burkina Faso, chemical inputs are used widely in market gardening to increase the yields in the production of vegetables. Most of time, the use of these chemicals causes contamination of market garden products, leading to the rapid rotting of these vegetables. The objective of this study was to help in determination of the chemical inputs i(...)

Jachère et amendement ligneux: quelles potentialités dans la réhabilitation physique et biologique des sols dégradés en zone soudano-sahélienne (Burkina Faso) ?
Daouda Guébré, Zédara Isaïs Boussim, Edmond Hien
Dans les régions sub-sahariennes, la dégradation des terres et la baisse de la fertilité des sols constituent une préoccupation majeure pour la production agricole. Le recours à de nouvelles stratégies de conservation et restauration susceptibles de soutenir durablement la production agricole demeure indispensable. Les amendements ligneux à ba(...)

Sorghum and cowpea intercropping response to woody residue amendments in Sahelian agro-ecosystems of Burkina Faso
Daouda Guebre, Salifou Traore, Koulibi Fidele Zongo, Edmond Hien
In West African agro-ecosystems, soils are inherently low in soil organic carbon decreasing the capacity of soils to
sustain crop productivity. Woody Residues instead of being burnt or exported out of the cropping systems, can be
managed to optimize soil organic carbon build-up, nutrient cycling and crop productivity. The aim of this study(...)

Growth, Population Parameters and Stock Status of Sarotherodon galilaeus in Samandeni Reservoir, Burkina Faso
Nomwine Da, Raymond Ouedraogo, Mahamoudou Minoungou, Adama Oueda
Mango tilapia, Sarotherodon galilaeus is one of the most caught fish species in the Samandeni multi-species fishing sites of which, few data on its biology and exploitation are available. The study aimed to Assess the stock status of S. galilaeus. Sampling was conducted from March, 2021 to February 2022 based on commercial fish catches to anal(...)

Habitat and Population Structure of Five Multipurpose Species in Forest Management Site of Tiogo, Burkina Faso
Bernadette Nitiema, Satassa Hien, Lassina Traoré, Issaka Joseph Boussim, Kuilpoko Marie Laure Guissou
Understanding the dynamics of multipurpose species in savanna ecosystems is essential for their sustainable conservation. This study aims to assess the population structure of five target species (Tamarindus indica, Vitellaria paradoxa, Detarium microcarpum, Anogeissus leiocarpa, and Crossopteryx febrifuga) in the forest management site of Tio(...)

Ethnobotanical survey to evaluate the endogenous knowledge and consequences of Taro Leaf Blight (TLB) in Sudanian climatic zone of Burkina Faso
Renan Ernest Traoré, Marie Claire Cécé, Nicolas Ouédraogo, Gabin Korbéogo
Leaf blight caused by Phytophthora colocasiae poses a significant threat to taro production in the
Sudanian climatic zone of Burkina Faso. This study aims to assess producers' knowledge about the
disease, its consequences, and field management practices. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted
among taro producers between June and July 20(...)

Participatory investigation of goat farmers’ breeding practices, trait preferences and selection criteria in Burkina Faso
Akounda Badjibassa, Dominique Ouédraogo, Pamela Anna Burger, Benjamin D. Rosen, Curtis P. Van Tassell, Johann Sölkner & Albert Soudré
The community-based breeding program (CBBP) is an innovative approach recommended for genetic improvement and sus- tainable use of animal genetic resources in extensive farming systems. Successful implementation of this approach requires an understanding of the characteristics of production systems, breeding objectives, and farmers’ trait pref(...)

Influence des changements agraires sur la dynamique paysagère autour des aires protégées du complexe Pô-Nazinga-Sissili au Burkina Faso
Adama Zoungrana, Marjolein Visser, Charles de Cannière, Pingdewindé Carine Ouédraogo, Babou André Bationo & Salifou Traoré
La compréhension des moteurs de la fragmentation paysagère est indispensable pour réduire l’impact de l’anthropisation des habitats et mieux préserver la biodiversité. Cependant, l’écologie du paysage seule ne permet pas de cerner l’influence des changements agraires sur la dynamique paysagère. Cette étude adopte donc une approche systémique q(...)

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walpers] intercropping improves grain yield, fodder biomass, and nutritive value.
Sanfo A, Zampaligré N, Delma JB, Kulo AE, Ouédraogo A, Esteban F. R, Jose´ D, Ken BJ and Adegbola A
Burkina Faso livestock feeding is characterized by a hot dry season fodder deficit,
which affects animal performance and causes economic losses. To overcome this
challenge, improving quality fodder production through the use of dual-purpose
crops is a potential alternative. Hence, this study aimed at testing dual-purpose
cultivars of sorgh(...)
