Allometry-based estimation of the wild custard-apple (Annona senegalensis Pers.) fruit biomass according to climate conditions in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Aboubacar Baba Zouré, Loyapin Bondé, Bassiaka Ouattara, AmadéOuédraogo
Annona senegalensis Pers. is a wild edible shrub species with high nutritional value. However, the species is poorly promoted across sub-Saharan Africa due to the lack of information about its productivity. This study aimed to: (i) identify the driving factors of the species’ fruit biomass and (ii) develop allometric models for estimating its(...)

Combining ability for grain yield and other agronomic traits of early tropical maize lines under optimal, drought, and suboptimal soil nitrogen conditions
Abdoulazize Banhoro, Rasmata Nana, Yoseph Beyene, Isaiah Aleri, Andrew Chavangi, Aboubacar Sory, Marc Heijde
Maize (Zea mays L.) is crucial for food security and industrial use in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, its production is limited by drought and low soil nitrogen. Therefore, developing stress-tolerant maize hybrids is essential for enhancing productivity in the region. Effective selection of these hybrids depends on understanding the mode of inhe(...)

CHARACTERIZATION OF Fusarium sp. ASSOCIATED WITH AFRICAN EGGPLANTS (Solanum aethiopicum L. and Solanum macrocarpon L.) IN BURKINA FASO
A. S. Soulama, Z. O. Dianda, B. Kabore and P. Bationo Kando
Eggplants Solanum aethiopicum L. and Solanum macrocarpon L. are packed with essential nutrient constituents necessary for nutritional balance and health maintenance. However, Fusarium infections characterized by leaf yellowing and necrosis, plant wilting and desiccation, as well as fruit rot represent a major constraint to production. This stu(...)

Macroscopic and Microscopic Detection of Fungal Diseases of Green Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the Gourma Province of Burkina Faso
Soura Hervé, Safouratou Toure, Benjamin Lankoande, Kadidia Koita, and Aly Savadogo
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a legume that faces numerous biotic constraints that hinder its production. Among these are fungal diseases that attack both leaves and pods, reducing yields. The objective of this study is to contribute to improving green bean production in the Gourma province. Macroscopic and microscopic identificat(...)

Evaluation of Fungal Diseases Affecting Soybean Varieties (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) Considered Disease Resistant in Central Burkina Faso
Soura Hervé, Zoulkanaye Sebogo, Denise Ilboudo, Kadidia Koita, and Aly Savadogo
Soybean (Glycine max) is a cash crop of economic and agronomic importance in Sahelian countries due to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Researchers have developed several disease-resistant varieties, but yields remain suboptimal. This situation motivates this study, which aims to evaluate the diseases that attack resistant varieties, c(...)
