Legumes are rich in protein. However, they are not consumed much because their consumption poses a problem of digestion due to anti-nutritional factors and consumers have a preference for proteins from livestock. It therefore appears useful to promote them. The means used to enhance them was fermentation. This technique improves the nutritional and biological qualities of legumes. The seeds of red bean (cowpea, Vigna unguiculata L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) sold in the large market of Daloa (Côte d’Ivoire) constituted the biological material of this study. Thus, a spontaneous fermentation of the seeds of these legumes followed by the determination of biochemical parameters was carried out. During spontaneous fermentation, the nutritional value of fermented seed flours was improved by significantly decreasing (P˂0.05) anti-nutritional factors. This reflects the impact of fermentation on improving the organic quality of these legumes. This study revealed that a 24 hour fermentation period is advisable for the population. This time allows keeping a good energy value, an acceptable level of nutrients although the fermentation after 72 hours considerably reduces the anti-nutritional compounds.

To contribute to the restoration of tropical soils fertility, the agro-morphological and yield characteristics of three cultivated legumes [two beige seeded varieties of soybean (Glycine max L.): one from  Côte d’Ivoire (BVCI) and the other, from Benin (BVB) and a green  seeded mungbean variety (Vigna radiata L)  from Côte d'Ivoire (MVCI)] were studied.  The legumes seeds were sown and the resulting plants were monitored until harvest. The data relating to the plants phenological, morphological and yield parameters were statistically processed through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA 1).  The results of phenological observations indicated that the mungbean (MVCI) was earlier than both soybean varieties (BVCI followed by BVB). Morphologically, plants of the late soybean varieties (BVCI and BVB) were higher, more branched with a large wingspan, and produced more panicles than the early variety of mungbean (MVCI). In addition, mungbean variety (MVCI) produced long tapered pods containing small seeds while the soybean varieties produced shorter but wider pods containing large seeds.  In terms of yied, both late soybean varieties (BVCI and BVB) produced large dry biomass, more pods with higher seed yield, dry weight and 100 seed weight than the early variety of mungbean (MVCI). Significance: The precocious nature of mungbean makes it an important plant for the fight against climate change, especially against drought. Due to their good branching and significant plant spread, both late varieties of soybean (BVCI and BVB) have high potential of being selected for soil protection and weed control, as well as for food production because of their high pod yield, seed and dry biomass.

The collection and characterization of the diversity of local cowling ecotypes is an important lever in defining the species’ strategies for varietal improvement. The purpose of this study was to generate information on the diversity of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] cultivars in the savannah area of Côte d’Ivoire. Collecting missions were carried out from December 2017 to February 2018, among farmers and traders in nine departments in the north of Côte d’Ivoire. These missions brought together 48 local cowpea ecotypes in seed form. These accessions were characterized on the basis of eight morphological characters, including two quantitative characters (weight of 100 seeds and length of seeds) and six qualitative characters (color, shape, presence of stain, appearance, eye shape and color around the hilum of seed). Overall, the results showed considerable variability in seed coat coloration in varying proportions. Overall, 35.42% of the samples collected were white, 33.33% were red and 31.25% were other colors. The Multiple Correspondence analysis carried out using all the qualitative characters made it possible to group the 48 accessions collected into 16 morphological groups or morphotypes with distinct characteristics. In addition, they reflect a good part of the morphological diversity of cowpea accessions from the north of Côte d'Ivoire that could be exploited in varietal selection programs for the species.
