Screening of vegetable cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] varieties introduced in Burkina Faso for Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus resistance
Antoine Barro, Jean-Baptiste Tignegre, Zinmanké Coulibaly, Zakaria Kiebre, Joseph Nanama, Mahamadou Sawadogo, Mirela Cordea
Vegetable cowpea is a variant of cowpea where the pods are consumed at the
immature stage. Like other legumes, vegetable cowpea is subject to several
constraints including Cowpea Aphid-Borne Mosaic Virus (CABMV) which
seriously hampers its production. The objective of this study was to assess the
impact of CABMV on the growth of vegetable(...)

Significance Despite growing evidence of the deleterious effects on ecological and human health, little is known regarding the global occurrence of pharmaceuticals in rivers. Studies assessing their occurrence are available for 75 of 196 countries, with most research conducted in North America and Western Europe. This leaves large geographical(...)

Seed Potential of Ruminants Organic Manures in Sahelian Agro-Pastoral Systems
Pauline Ouédraogo, Mohamed Cissé, Philippe Bayen, Salifou Traoré, Babou André Bationo
In degraded Sahelian agro-systems, livestock manures increase agricultural production and ensure natural regeneration through their selective seed potential. Yet, this seed potential that contributes to species dissemination is still poorly known. This study aimed to determine the seed potential of different livestock ruminant manures. To this(...)

Varieties’ Response of Vegetable Cowpea to Mechanical Inoculation of Cowpea Aphid-Borne Mosaic Virus in Burkina Faso
Antoine Barro, Joseph NANAMA, Zinmanké COULIBALY, Zakaria DIENI, Mirela Cordea
Vegetable cowpea is eaten mainly fresh, in the form of young, immature pods, tender and sweet like the common bean. However, like cowpea with seeds, vegetable cowpea experience yield losses due to the cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV). This study aims to improve yields through the development of vegetable cowpea varieties resistant to CA(...)

Effect of livestock manure on soil microbial and nutrient dynamics in zaï cropping systems of the Sahel
Salifou Traoré, Pauline Ouédraogo, Philippe Bayen, Babou André Bationo, Nathan Lee, Nicola Lorenz, Richard P. Dick
Abstract The zaï cropping system that involves precision manure placement in small excavated soil pits is designed to restore the productivity of encrusted and degraded soils of the Sahel. However, there is little information on the effectiveness of zaï cropping to improve soil quality, particularly as to how it relates to manure sources. Ther(...)
