Improving of the Clarke and Wright’s Heuristic for Solving Multiobjective Vehicles Routing Problem
Issouf Nikiéma, Joseph Poda, and Kounhinir Somé
In this paper, we propose a new multiobjective model for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with a single depot. On one hand, the model aims to optimize multiple conflicting objectives, such as minimizing the total travel distance and reducing the number of vehicles used. On the other hand, we develop a heuristic approach to effectively s(...)

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(...)

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(...)
