Performance of Food-Feed Maize and Cowpea Cultivars under Monoculture and Intercropping Systems: Grain yield, Fodder Biomass, and Nutritive Value
Sanfo A, Zampaligré N, Kulo AE, Somé S, Traoré K, Rios EF, Dubeux JCB, Boote KJ and Adesogan A
Livestock feeding in Burkina Faso is characterized by a recurrent deficit in both
the quality and the quantity of fodder during the dry season, which affects
animal performance. To overcome this, quality fodder/forage production is an
alternative. Therefore, this study evaluated food- and feed-improved cultivars
of maize and cowpea in inte(...)

Socio-economic indigenous drivers of soils and water conservation practices use to cope with climate change in the region of Plateau Central in Burkina Faso
Harouna Ouédraogo, Yacouba Diallo, Edmond Hien, Louis Poulouma Yaméogo, Nehren Udo
Continuous soil degradation and recurrent droughts caused by climate change are challenging agricultural production in the Central Plateau region of Burkina Faso. Some management techniques were developed and disseminated to farmers, in order to reduce the effects of drought and restore degraded soils. However, the adoption rate of these techn(...)

Burkina Rock Phosphate Fertilization Increases Nodulation and Yield of Cowpea under Zaï Cultivation in Sahelian Agro-ecosystem of Burkina Faso
Zongo K. F., Traoré M., Guébré Hien E., Blavet D., Yattara I. I. and Drevon J-J.
Cowpea occupies a considerable place in the nutritional and economic balance of the rural population of Burkina Faso. However, its cultivation is marked by yield instability linked to soil depletion of nutrients, especially N and P, and irregular rains. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of phosphorus fertilization with the(...)

Enquête ethnobotanique sur la diversité paysanne et l’utilisation du faux sésame (Ceratotheca sesamoides Endl.) au Burkina Faso
Dramane KABORE , Renan Ernest TRAORE, Adjima OUOBA, Mariam KIEBRE et Pauline KANDO BATIONO
Le but de cette étude est de promouvoir le faux sésame qui est en voie d’extinction. A cet effet, des
enquêtes ethnobotaniques sur le faux sésame ont été réalisées en novembre 2019 au Burkina Faso. L’objectif
de l’étude était de connaitre les variétés paysannes de faux sésame et leurs usages, ainsi que leur mode de
gestion au Burkina Faso.(...)

Local Knowledge, Perceptions and Uses Values of Senna obtusifolia (L.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby, an Invasive Native Plant Species in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Alhassane Zare, Innocent Charles Emmanuel Traore, Bossila Seraphin Hien, Loyapin Bonde, Oumarou Ouedraogo
Invasive species are known to be a threat to agriculture and biodiversity. Thus, many studies have focused on the negative ecological impacts of invasive species, while their importance to livelihoods and human well-being has received little attention. This study aimed to explore people's ethno-ecological knowledge about the invasion of Senna(...)

Characterizing sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) varieties diversity to identify those with contrasting traits of interest for intercropping systems in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of West Africa
Ganeme A, Kondombo CP, Raboin L-M, Dusserre J, Kabore R, Adam M, Traoré S
Sorghum is an important staple crop in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the Sudano-Sahelian zone of
West Africa, sorghum is mainly intercropped with cowpea, but these intercropping systems
are facing low-productivity problems. The overall aim of this research was to identify sorghum
varieties with different agro-morphological and physiological traits(...)

Amendment with Burkina Faso phosphate rock‑enriched composts alters soil chemical properties and microbial structure, and enhances sorghum agronomic performance
SAGNON Adama, IWASAKI Shinya , TIBIRI Ezechiel Bionimian, ZONGO Nongma Armel, COMPAORE Emmanuel, BONKOUNGOU Isidore Juste O , NAKAMURA Satoshi, TRAORE Mamoudou, BARRO Nicolas, TIENDREBEOGO Fidèle and SARR Papa Saliour
Low soil available phosphorus (P) severely limits crop production in sub‑Saharan Africa. The present
study evaluated phosphate rock‑enriched composts as locally available low‑cost fertilizers for
sorghum production. The treatments consisted of sorghum straw, compost (COMP), phosphate rock
(BPR), BPR‑enriched compost (P‑COMP), BPR‑rhizospher(...)

Woody stems and leaves to improve soil faunal activity and nutrient cycling in cropping systems !
Daouda Guébré, Salifou Traoré , Edmond Hien
Agroecological practices are emerging as efficient alternatives to address the challenge of sustainable agriculture. The objective of this study was to examine whether plant residue amendments from stems and leaves (SL) of an agroforestry shrub (Piliostigma reticulatum) enriched with nitrogen (N) sources improve nutrient cycling in Soudano-Sah(...)

Méthodes de conservation des fourrages : qualités nutritives et performances des ovins en embouche paysanne
Sanfo A, Zampaligre N, Kere M, Kulo AE, Some S and Traore K
L’alimentation constitue la contrainte majeure de l’élevage des ruminants au Burkina
Faso. Les résidus culturaux sont utilisés pour une complémentation en saison sèche.
Cependant, leur valorisation est limitée du fait de leur faible qualité nutritive due en
partie aux mauvaises conditions de conservation. L’étude a été menée pour évaluer(...)

Preventing households from food insecurity in rural Burkina Faso: Does non-farm income matter?
SEOGO Windinkonté
Engaging in nonfarm activities has been considered an
important strategy to increase household income in rural
Burkina Faso. However, the empirical evidence on how income
from nonfarm activities contributes to household food security
in the country is limited. Relying on nationwide household
panel data and an instrumental variable approac(...)

Enhancing food production to prevent households from food insecurity in rural Burkina Faso: Does land ownership matter?
SEOGO Windinkonté
Purpose – This paper assesses the effect of land ownership on household food security through its
productivity enhancement effect in rural Burkina Faso.
Design/methodology/approach – As the link between land tenure security and productivity is indirect, the
study relies on a complex mixed process regression model with robustness to assess t(...)
