La tolérance, un impératif démocratique
Ouédraogo Hamado
Dans cet article intitulé, la tolérance, un impératif démocratique, nous partons d’un constat que notre époque est guidé par le vocable de tolérance que ce soit les discours politiques, religieux. Confrontées à certains actes absolument intolérables, commis au nom d’idéologies meurtrières, les opinions publiques des sociétés démocratiques semb(...)

Biochemical resistance to insecticides in Bemisia tabaci field population from Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Drabo Fogné Samuel, Coulibaly Y. Ahmed, Romba Rahim, Balboné Mahamoudou, Gnankiné Olivier
Insecticides are commonly used in greenhouses or fields to control Bemisia tabaci populations leading to rapid evolution of resistance that make treatments inefficient. This resistance can be mediated by molecular and/or biochemical mechanisms. Here, we propose to determine the detoxifying enzymes involved in B. tabaci resistance and to establ(...)

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS OF FOUR VARIETIES OF SORGHUM (SORGHUM BICOLOR (L) MOENCH) CULTIVATED IN BURKINA FASO
Crépin I. Dibala, Raymond P. Barry, Kiessoun Konaté and Mamoudou H. DICKO
Sorghum bicolor (Poaceae) is the oldest cultivated plant in the world. It grows in dry, sodden or high salinity soil and is a heat-tolerant plant considered to hold the most important rate of phenolic components. The bioactive composites of the stem, the leaf, the grains, the seeds and the glumes for four Sorghum bicolor species such as Framid(...)

Soil Moisture Monitoring of Agricultural Fields in Burkina Faso Using Dual Polarized Sentinel-1a Data
Y. Miura; L. E. B. Eriksson; M. Ostwald; M. Karlson; H. R. Bazié; M. J. Soja; J. Sanou; J. Bayala and H. Reese
We investigated the correlation between backscatter and soil moisture considering precipitation and crop effects using dual polarized Sentinel-1A data. The analyzed data consist of a time-series of 38 Sentinel-1A GRD images acquired on a 12-days repeat cycle from July 2017 to October 2018 over Sapone in Burkina Faso. We show that the temporal(...)

Diversity , distribution and prevalence of vegetable-infecting geminiviruses in Burkina Faso
Ouattara A, Tiendrébéogo F, Lefeuvre P, Hoareau M, Claverie S, Allibert A, Chiroleu F, Traoré E V, Barro N, Traoré O, Lett J-M
In West and Central Africa, as in many regions of the world, vegetables are severely affected by geminivirus diseases. In Burkina Faso, observation of various virus-like symptoms, especially on tomato, suggests the involvement of several geminiviruses and underlines the pressing need for additional information on their diversity, distribution,(...)

Analysis of the Single-Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic (PV) Module Performances Under Low γ-Radiation from Radioactive Source
Adama Ouedraogo, Ladifata Mogmenga, Nébon Bado, Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice Ky & Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
The present paper is about an experimental evaluation of the terrestrial silicon single-crystalline solar PV module behavior under low gammaradiation. The simultanous proliferation of radioactive sources in Burkina Faso dominated by gamma type and the photovoltaic (PV) systems installations in both urban and rural areas justify this study. Th(...)

NANA Rasmata, MAIGA Ynoussa, OUEDRAOGO Razacswendé Fanta, KABORE Wendpouiré Ginette Bertille, BADIEL Badoua, TAMINI Zoumbiessé
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), a fruit vegetable consumed in several countries, especially in Africa, contributes to the fight against poverty and malnutrition due to its nutritional value. However, in Burkina Faso, its cultivation during the dry season that lasts about 9 months remains dependent on the availability of water resources. %us, du(...)
