Habibata Tinta, Valentin Stanislas Edgar Traoré, Minimassom Philippe Nikiéma, Arlette Wend-Yida Yasmine Kabore, Siébou Palé, Hamidou Traoré, Djibril Yonli
Yield of different onion (Allium cepa L.) varieties. Relative humidity showed strong seasonal variation, starting at low and unstable levels from January to April (minimum 10 to 40%, maximum 40 to 80%), rising steadily from May to nearly 100%, and later declining from November to December (20 to 80%). Significant genetic variation (p < 0.001)(...)

Background In South-Western Burkina Faso, where malaria remains highly endemic, the widespread resistance
of Anopheles mosquitoes to pyrethroid is reducing the effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). This study
assessed 3-year trends in key entomological indicators following the deployment of standard pyrethroid-only
