Effect of pedo-climatic conditions on physicochemical and agro-industrial potential of three wild fruits from Burkina Faso
35. Sama Hemayoro, Dieudonne Kimbie Traore, Samson Guenné, Adama Hilou and Mamoudou H. DICKO
Background: Plants are greatly affected by pedoclimatic conditions. They can alter the physiology of plants and
affect seeds agro-morphological and physicochemical characteristics. It is therefore conceivable that tree species
which have a potential as oil/fat producing plants are affected by pedoclimatic conditions variability. This study a(...)
