Effect of combinations organic and mineral fertilizers on the growth and productivity performance of two sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) varieties grown in Burkina Faso
Badoua Badiel, Tchoa Koné, Edmond Dondassé, Moctar Diarra, Hugues Roméo Bazié
In Burkina Faso, 85% of soils are leached tropical ferruginous soils with concretions, poor in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This soil poverty significantly reduces crop productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of organic and mineral fertilizer combinations on the growth and productivity performance(...)

Morphology and biology of Noorda blitealis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) immature instar for a biological control perspective
Salifou Kabre, · Madjelia Cangré Ebou Dao, · Fousseni Traore, · Antoine Waongo and · Olivier Gnankine
Moringa oleifera (Capparales: Moringaceae) is a plant grown for its roots, stems and leaves. However, the leaves are
attacked by insect pests including larvae of Noorda blitealis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). These larvae cause a significant
reduction in leaf yield and loss of income for growers. This study was conducted to determine some morpho(...)

Predicting power and solar energy using neural networks and PCA with meteorological parameters from Diass and Taïba Ndiaye
Sambalaye Diop, Papa Silly Traore, Mamadou Lamine Ndiaye, Issa Zerbo, Vincent Sambou
The excessive reliance on conventional fossil fuel-based resources poses a significant threat to our environment. To mitigate this impact, it has become increasingly crucial to increase the integration of intermittent and non-polluting energy sources into our electrical grids. However, while this higher penetration rate brings benefits such as(...)

Phenotypical variability of four types of sorghum cultivated in intercropping conditions in two agroclimatic areas of Burkina Faso based on qualitative traits
Sévérin Tuina,; Josiane Tiendrebéogo; Romaric Kiswendsida Nanema; Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an indigenous crop in Africa, primarily cultivated to meet the food and commercial needs of rural communities. In Burkina Faso, various types of sorghum are cultivated together, potentially increasing gene flow and influencing the evolution of key morphological traits of interest. This study compared t(...)

USE OF POLYSTYRENE MATERIALS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS IN THE NORTH- CENTRAL REGION OF BURKINA FASO: ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Gouba Bernard, Sawadogo Boukari , Ouoba Emile
The acquisition of decent housing at lower costs is a major concern in Burkina Faso. Indeed, a large number of buildings are built in concrete and concrete blocks. This technique of building buildings with these materials is expensive and very energy-intensive, which poses an access problem for the majority of Burkinabè populations. In this re(...)
