Evaluation of Fungal Diseases Affecting Soybean Varieties (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) Considered Disease Resistant in Central Burkina Faso
Hervé Soura, 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(...)

Preventive and curative effects of synthetic fungicides and essential oils against mycosphaerella fijiensis in banana
Abalo Itolou Kassankogno, Mariam Barro, Kouka Hilaire Kaboré, Vinsa Teedewedé Kane, Teendbwaoga Merlène Prisca Ouedraogo, Bowendson Clément Nikiema and Issa Wonni
Bananas are the most consumed fruit worldwide, especially in West Africa. However, banana plantations are often infected by the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis M., the agent of black sigatoka disease (BSD), also called black leaf streak, which can lead to yield losses exceeding 50%. This fungal disease is widely reported in banana p(...)

Pratiques phytosanitaires et contamination des légumes et eaux d’irrigation par les pesticides dans les zones maraîchères des régions des Hauts-Bassins et du Centre-Sud du Burkina Faso
Kouka Hilaire Kaboré, Maximin Tougma, Nombamba Ouéda, Wendnéyidé Mathieu Sawadogo, Amadou Diallo, Békouanan Nabié, Moussa Sondo, Benjamin Lankoandé and Abalo Itolou Kassankogno
Au Burkina Faso, la production maraîchère constitue une source essentielle de revenus monétaires et de sécurité alimentaire, mais elle reste confrontée à des défis liés à la gestion des bioagresseurs. L’usage intensif et souvent non maîtrisé des pesticides pose des risques pour la santé humaine et pour l’environnement. Cette étude a pour objec(...)

Effect of Fertilizer Types on Fungal Disease Incidence in Chili Pepper in Burkina Faso.
Hervé Soura, Zayd Bandé, Oscar Faton Benjamin Landoandé
Chili peppers (Capsicum annuum) are an important crop in the vegetable farming system of Burkina Faso, particularly as a source of income and nutrients for producers. However, their cultivation faces major challenges, namely fungal diseases, the effects and prevalence of which remain poorly understood in the Kadiogo province.(...)

Production and evaluation of two biofertilizers on vegetative growth of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) in Benin.
M.O.E Faton, H. Soura, A. Hounkpevi, B. Yessoufou, Z. Bonou-Gbo, A.H.G. Akueson, and L.S. Gnancadja.
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatasL.) is a key crop for food security in many developing countries, including Benin. Despite its potential for high yield and nutritional value, the productivity of sweet potato in Benin remains limited, primarily due to soil fertility challenges and inadequate fertilization pr(...)

Evaluation of the Agronomic Performance of Three Peanut Varieties Arachis hypogea L) and Detection of Diseases.
Soura Hervé, Tchagbe Bernard, Gnancadja Léopold, Koita Kadidia and Savadogo Aly.
Peanut (Arachis hypogea L) is a legume widely produced in West Africa. Peanuts are of agronomic
interest to producers because they are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen, making crop associations
possible, especially with cereals. In Benin, soils are increasingly poor, peanut production in crop
rotation can be an alternative solution. But se(...)

Production management and marketing of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas (L.) Lam) in a farm environment in South Benin.
Manhognon Oscar Euloge Faton, Zaki Bonou-Gbo, Hervé Soura, Mahutin Mariano Djihoulandé, Fanou Lucie, Léopold Simplice Gnancadja.
In Africa, sweet potato is a key crop for food security and nutrition, especially for poor and vulnerable populations. However, its production faces several challenges that limit its development. This study aimed to contribute to improving production and conservation practices of this tuber. A survey was conducted in 35 villages across 15 comm(...)

Status report on taro production (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott) and identification of fungal diseases.
Soura Hervé, Bio-Nigan Sikiratou and Gnancadja Léopold
The production of taro (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott) in Benin is struggling to take off, despite its high nutritional value. Taro production faces biotic and abiotic constraints. The acidification of the soil leads to increasingly low yields with a reduction in the size of the tubers. Foliar diseases are major constraints. T(...)

Soilless Cultivation of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa): Impact of Fertilizers on Growth and Disease Reduction in Burkina Faso.
Soura Hervé, Dianda Issa, Sama Hemayoro, Koita Kadidia, Gnancadja Léopold and Savadogo Aly
In market gardening, some common agricultural practices pose environmental and health concerns. Indeed, household waste, biomedical waste, sewage sludge and many others are used as fertilizer for production. Also the acidification of soils due to the mineral fertilizers used constitutes real problems. Lettuce is the fourth m(...)

Brown spot of rice: Worldwide disease impact, phenotypic and genetic diversity of the causal pathogen Bipolaris oryzae, and management of the disease
Kouka Hilaire Kaboré, A. I. Kassankogno, D. Tharreau
Rice brown spot caused by Bipolaris oryzae (syn. Cochliobolus miyabeanus) is a re-emerging
disease worldwide. Under natural
conditions, the disease causes approximately 4% in grain yield losses, ranging from 1% to 34% in countries of Africa and Asia. Rice
seeds can be infected from relatively low (0.5%) to high (76%) rates. B. oryzae also i(...)

Evaluation of fruit production of six Solanum spp cultivars and identification of fungal diseases
Soura Hervé, Goudjo Edouard, Attadeou Alphonse, Gnancadja Léopold, and BabaMoussa Lamine.
Solanum spp is one of the most produced and consumed leafy vegetables in Benin, but the fruits are little known, and little used in the daily diet. Biotic constraints hinder their production, leading to considerable loss of fruit yield. In the search for a solution to these biotic constraints, this present study, ca(...)
