To maintain its status of leading producer of cocoa in the world, Côte d'Ivoire must be contain the different types of threats, including the emergence of termites in cocoa farms. This study was conducted in the south-west of the country to evaluate the effect of cropping systems (full sun system, intermediate system and shaded system) on termite attacks. The study was conducted in four localities with different cocoa agroforestry systems. The sampling was made on cocoa trees in quadrats of 30mx30m and the attack rate was calculated. Eleven (11) termite species were identified. The wood-feeders groups were dominant. These termites were responsible for 41.82% of the damage on cocoa trees. Termite Attacks vary between different cropping systems. Full sun systems were most attacked comparing to intermediate shade systems that were least attacked by termites. This work shows that the shade system has an effect on termite attacks in cacao trees. The choice of right system can help to significantly reduce termite attacks in cocoa farms.

In Côte d'Ivoire, cashew cultivation faces several health obstacles. Among these problems, bacteriosis causes extensive damage to twigs, leaves and fruits, lowers the quality of crops and causes yield losses. The spread of this disease would be under the determination of the morphological characters of the cashew tree. The objective of this study is to search for agro-morphological determinants that influence the spread of bacteriosis in agroforestry systems in Côte d'Ivoire. To achieve this objective, 30 cashew trees spread across 26 agroforestry cashew orchards in the Korhogo, Sinématiali and Boundiali departments were chosen and geolocated. The study factor is the clone, consisting of 30 cashew genotypes, with 13 modalities. The collected data was subjected to descriptive analysis, correlation test, ACP and ascending hierarchical classification (CAH). The results obtained showed that the size and leaf areas and size of cashew trees are determinants that promote the spread of bacteriosis in these 30 cashew genotypes. Following this result, the ascending hierarchical classification (CAH) made it possible to screen the genotypes into three groups. These results should contribute to the agroecological management of bacteriosis, to enhance and intensify agroforestry cropping systems in Côte d'Ivoire.

Cashew Tree

Cashew cultivation faces several health problems. Among these problems, anthracnose causes extensive damage to twigs, leaves and fruits and causes loss of yield. The spread of this disease is thought to be determined by certain agromorphological features of the cashew tree. The objective of this study was to search for these agro-morphological determinants that influence the spread of anthracnose disease in agroforestry systems in Côte d'Ivoire. To achieve this objective, 30 cashew trees spread across 26 agroforestry cashew orchards in the Korhogo, Sinématiali and Boundiali departments were chosen and geolocated. The factor studied was the clone, consisting of 30 cashew genotypes, with 15 modalities. The collected data was subjected to descriptive analysis, correlation test, PCA and hierarchical ascending classification (CAH). The results showed that the wingspan, leaf area and size of cashew trees are determinants that promote the spread of anthracnose disease. Following this result, the CAH made it possible to screen the genotypes into three groups. These results could contribute to management of anthracnose disease in agroforestry, to enhance and intensify this cropping systems.

En Côte d’Ivoire, la pauvreté des sols est une contrainte pour la productivité agricole. L’objectif de cette étude était de produire un compost à base de rafles de palmier afin d’améliorer les propriétés physicochimiques des sols pauvres en matières organiques. Quatre traitements T0 (720 kg de rafles + 0 kg de fientes de volaille), T1 (720 kg de rafles + 200 kg de fientes de volaille), T2 (720 kg de rafles + 400 kg de fientes de volaille) et T3 (720 kg de rafles + 600 kg de fientes de volaille), ont été compostés durant 6 mois. Les teneurs en nutriments et éléments traces métalliques (ETM) dans chacun des traitements ont été évaluées et comparées les unes par rapport aux autres. Le traitement T3 a révélé des teneurs élevées en N (14840 mg.kg-1), P (6327,5 mg.kg-1), K (19930 mg.kg-1), Mg (14160 mg.kg-1) et Ca (4140 mg.kg-1) et des concentrations en ETM en deçà des seuils de toxicité avec Pb : 88,5 mg.kg-1, Zn : 167,5 mg.kg-1et Cr : 58 mg.kg-1). Ce compost pourrait donc être utilisé comme amendement pour ces ferralsols marginaux dans le Sud-Ouest de la Côte d’Ivoire. © 2020 International Formulae Group. All rights reserved. Mots clés: Rafles de palmier, compost, fertilité des sols, ETM, Côte d’Ivoire English Title: Characterization of the physicochemical and chemical properties of a compost issued from a mixture of palm empty fruit bunch and chicken manure in South West of Côte d’Ivoire English Abstract In Côte d’Ivoire, soil poverty reduces agricultural productivity. The aim of this study is to produce compost based on palm stalks to improve the physico-chemical properties of sandy soils with low organic matter content. Four treatments T0 (720 kg of empty fruit bunch + 0 kg of chicken manure), T1 (720 kg of empty fruit bunch + 200 kg of chicken manure), T2 (720 kg of empty fruit bunch + 400 kg of chicken manure) and T3 (720 kg of empty fruit bunch + 600 kg of chicken manure) of mixed various quantities of palm empty fruit bunch and chicken manure were up in field for 6 months. The levels of nutrients and heavy metal contents in each treatment were evaluated and compared against each other. Treatment T3 highlights high levels of N (14840 mg.kg-1), P (6327.5 mg.kg-1), K (19930 mg.kg-1), Mg (14160 mg.kg-1) and Ca (4140 mg.kg-1) and heavy metal content below the toxicity thresholds (Pb: 88.5 mg.kg-1, Zn: 167.5 mg.kg-1 and Cr: 58 mg.kg-1). This compost could therefore be used as sandy soil amendment in the South West of Côte d’Ivoire. © 2020 International Formulae Group. All rights reserved.

In the area of Lakota (Midwest, Côte d'Ivoire), where the vegetation is a semi-deciduous forest, cacao growing is practiced by people from different origins. Cacao cropping techniques seem to be influenced by some social and cultural habits, according to the people and the agroecological areas. The present study aimed to understand(1) the cacao cropping systems and to identify(2) the reasons underlying the choice of vegetal species combined to cacao trees in these rural communities. To achieve this goal, interviews were realised with cacao farmers of four villages of the area. These interviews concern farmers’ profiles, the former agriculture practices, the variety of the cultivated cacao and the plants combined to cacao trees. The results show that among the 223 interviewed farmers, 72 (32.3% of the farmers) are natives, 42 (18.8% of the farmers) are immigrants and 109 (48.9% of the farmers) are non-native Ivorians. In total, 77 species regularly combined to cacao trees were named by the farmers and they can be divided into local species and exotic species. Plots ordination shows three agroforestry systems according to ethnic group of the locality. Cacao farms with the large proportion of local species are owned by Lakota native people "Dida". The exotic species are dominant in cacao farms that belong to immigrants (Malian, Burkina Faso and Guinean people) and "Malinké" people (a non-native ivorian ethnic group). The Akan people (a non-native ivorian ethnic group) combine in a same proportions exotic and local species in their cacao farms.
