Convective drying of onion: modeling of drying kinetics parameters
Aboubakar Compaore, Aditya Putranto, A. O. Dissa, Samuel Ouoba, Romain Rémond, Yann Rogaume, André Zoulalian, Antoine Béré, Jean Koulidiati
Drying is a simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes. Drying kinetics is determined by both internal properties and external drying conditions. In this study, two important drying kinetics parameters of onions i.e. effective water diffusivity and relative activation energy of reaction engineering approach (REA) are determined. The generat(...)

Regenerated trees in farmers’ fields increase soil carbon across the Sahel
Jules Bayala, J Sanou, HR Bazié, R Coe, A Kalinganire, Fergus L Sinclair
In the current debate on the role of
increase soil carbon in addressing both climate change
and food security, there is consensus that farmed lands
have the higher potential provided the best management
practices are implemented. In the Sahel where
farms usually have few sparse old trees with declining
soil fertility, there is an ongoing(...)

Insecticide resistance levels and mechanisms in Aedes aegypti populations in and around Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Athanase Badolo, Aboubacar Sombie, Patricia M. Pignatelli, Aboubakar Sanon, Felix Yameogo, Dimitri W. Wangrawa, Antoine Sanon, Hirotaka Kanuka, Philip J. McCallI, David Weetman
Background
Recent outbreaks of dengue and other Aedes aegypti-borne arboviruses highlight the importance of a rapid response for effective vector control. Data on insecticide resistance and underlying mechanisms are essential for outbreak preparedness, but are sparse in much of Africa. We investigated the levels and heterogeneity of insectici(...)

Genetic Variability Induced by Gamma Radiation in Cowpea [(Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp)] in Burkina Faso
Karidiatou Gnankambary, Teyoure Benoit Joseph Batieno, Nerbewende Sawadogo, Mahamadou Sawadogo, Jean Baptiste Tignegre, Djibril Yonli, Tinga Jeremy Ouedraogo
Cowpea is a good source of protein, minerals, and vitamins in most developing countries in Africa. However, this legume production is still limited by various biotic and abiotic constraints. Beyond these constraints, the pressure of conventional breeding methods on natural variability exhausted a narrow genetic base of cowpea. Therefore, it is(...)
