Haoua Nacambo*, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Jocelyne Wendpingrenoma Ouangraoua, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Kiswendsida Romaric Nanema, Mahamadou Sawadogo
Domestication of Senna obtusifolia could contribute to strengthening food security, empowering people and improving their living conditions, especially women, through the sale of leaves and seeds. However, very few studies have been devoted to the species in Burkina Faso, and it remains poorly known and still grows in the wild. The present stu(...)
