La domestication de Lippia multiflora, plantes aux multiples vertus en pharmacopée et médecine est un enjeu de taille en Côte d’Ivoire. Cependant, l’insuffisance de semences, due au faible taux de germination des graines, limite l’extension de sa culture. La présente étude avait pour objectif l’extraction, la purification et la caractérisation morpho-physiologique des graines de Lippia multiflora Moldenke (Verbenaceae). Il s’agissait plus spécifiquement de déterminer la pureté spécifique, le nombre de graines par unité de masse, le diamètre moyen et le taux d’humidité ; le taux de germination des graines de L. multiflora. Aussi, il s’est agi d’étudier l’impact du milieu sur le pouvoir germinatif des graines et de faire un suivi post-germination des plants en milieu réel. Après extraction des graines, des mesures physiques et des tests de germination ont permis de déterminer les caractéristiques morpho-physiologiques de celles-ci. L’étude a montré que le lot de graine étudié a une pureté spécifique de 70%, les graines ont un diamètre moyen de 0,34± 0.1 mm, une teneur en eau de 14±5.4 % et un taux de germination de 42,25%. Les tests de germination après un séjour prolongé dans divers milieux, révèlent qu’un milieu réfrigéré (7° C) confère une plus longue viabilité aux graines. Le suivi post-germination au champ montre une évolution régulière de la hauteur des plants, passant en moyenne de 2,58 cm à 8,8 cm au bout de 3 mois. Sur la même période, le nombre moyen de feuille varie de 4,03 à 21.Mots clés : Lippia multiflora, graine, caractérisation, germination, suivi post-germination.   English Title: Morpho-physiological qualities and evaluation of the germination behavior of seeds of the savannah tea tree (Lippia multiflora Moldenke)The domestication of Lippia multiflora, plants with multiple virtues in pharmacopoeia and medicine is a major challenge in Côte d'Ivoire. However, the lack of seed, due to the low germination rate, limits the extension of its cultivation. The purpose of this study was the extraction, purification and morpho-physiological characterization of the seeds of Lippia multiflora Moldenke (Verbenaceae). More specifically, it involved determining the specific purity, the number of seeds per unit mass, the average diameter and the humidity rate; the germination rate of L. multiflora seeds. Also, it was a question of studying the impact of the environment on the germination power of seeds and of making a post-germination follow-up of the plants in real environment. After the seeds extraction, physical measurements and germination tests were carried out to determine the morpho-physiological characteristics. Results showed that the seed lot studied has a specific purity of 70%, an average diameter of 0.34 0.1 mm, a water content of 14 5.4% and a germination rate of 42.25%. Germination tests after a prolonged stay in various environments reveal that a refrigerated area (7 °C) confers a longer viability to the seeds. Post-germination monitoring in the field shows a steady increase in plant height from an average of 2.58 cm to 8.8 cm after 3 months. Over the same period, the average number of sheets varies from 4.03 to 21.Keywords: Lippia multiflora, seed, characterization, germination, post-germination monitoring.

The Impact

Abstract Writing about Zophopetes cerymica (which they considered more common) and P. laufella combined, Mariau and Morin (1974) state that attacks can be on palms of all ages, including young palms recently planted out. At this age, defoliation of the plants delays their subsequent development. Outbreaks on older trees are rarer, and the damage often less important; these attacks are generally localized at the edge of plantations. Mariau et al. (1981) add that the highest fronds are the most often damaged. Herder et al. (1994) refer to regular outbreaks of P. laufella on oil palm in southern Côte d'Ivoire. There are no more substantive reports on the impact of the feeding damage by these hesperiids.

The Impact

In Côte d'Ivoire, the S2 strain of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) predominated in the forested zones, including the “rice belt” to the west, in each of the cropping systems where rice was grown. The S1 strain occurred more frequently in the northern Guinean savanna, and only S1 isolates were found further north in the Sahelo-Soudanian zones. In mixed infection, S2 dominated over S1 both in viral capsid and RNA contents under temperature regimes encompassing those observed in savanna and forested zones of Côte d'Ivoire. There was no evidence of interactions in virus accumulation between the West African strains S1 or S2 with the more distantly related East African strain S4. Field trials emphasized the impact of RYMV, which induced yield losses of 40 to 60% in several widely grown cultivars of Oryza sativa indica and O. sativa japonica. We report the high resistance of the O. indica cv. Gigante under field conditions which was apparent with all the S1 and S2 isolates tested. Responses to RYMV infection of several cultivars were isolate dependent. With most differential cultivars, responses were not strain specific, with the exception of the O. japonica cv. Idsa6, in which the S2 isolates always induced higher yield losses than the S1 isolates.

Aims: The present study aims to evaluate the effect of some abiotic factors on the quality of seed germination of shea tree, a plant of great economic interest for the rural populations in Northern Côte d'Ivoire. Study Design: The trials were conducted in a nursery where two factors were considered. These were the substrate, with six modalities and shelter with two modalities. Six small pits, each of size 60 x 60 cm, surface 3600 cm2 and 15 cm of depth were dug and then filled with different substrates. Place and Duration of Study: The work was carried out in 2018 in the district of Korhogo in Northern Côte d'Ivoire. Methodology: Each treatment received 36 seeds of shea tree giving a total of 216 seeds per test. The seeds used were all dark brown, ellipsoid in shape with masses ranging from 10 to 11 g. The experiment was carried out with a total of 12 treatments, six under a greenhouse hermetically covered with transparent polyethylene plastic and six under a shade made up of a rack covered with maximum Panicum leaves.  Results: The first germination was observed at the level of the organic manure treatment at 6 months of degradation installed under the greenhouse (ManB_G = 28 days). The lowest final germination rate was obtained with the organic fertilization at 3 months of degradation installed under the shade (FGP ManA_S = 2.95%) while the highest was observed in the sawdust installed under the greenhouse (FGP S_G = 64.18%). Conclusion: It is concluded that for each substrate, soil or biowaste, the seeds of shea tree have a better ability to germinate under a greenhouse than under a shelter covered with straw.

The Impact

The inclusion of education in post-conflict reconstruction in a transitional justice process goes far beyond physical construction and educational facilities to become part of national educational planning and policy. The issue of education in post-conflict periods is at the level of the national education system in general and of educational policies and strategies in particular. In Côte d’Ivoire, as in other countries emerging from violent conflict, even if the issue of education can be identified in the structural and direct causes of the occurrence of conflicts, it must be recognized that the impact of these conflicts on education remains considerable at different levels. Thus, taking account of its consequences in post-conflict reconstruction in the context of transitional justice is of great interest both for its contribution to economic growth and for the promotion of fundamental human rights and social cohesion. A full involvement of education in the transitional justice process is a real potential for mutual reinforcement in the reconstruction process. Practical synergies between education and transitional justice call for closer collaboration between education and transitional justice actors.

The Impact

The armed conflict that ravaged Côte d'Ivoire after the post-election crisis in november 2010 was sparked by several factors (land disputes, armed uprising of september 2002, tribal militias conquest of state power). In the regions of Guémon and Cavally that formed the epicenter of the war, intercommunal land disputes were instrumental in the outbreak of the war. These tensions between peasants have long caused confusion in the far west forest and contributed in part to the social division between indigenous and migrant communities. This qualitative study based on the phenomenological approach and firstly analyses the dynamics of these communal land disputes before the post-election crisis of 2010. Then, it situates the impact of these conflicts in the social division between communities.

The Impact

Since thirty years, four Australian Acacias species are introduced and studied in Anguédédou Research station. The station research is located in evergreen forest in the south of Côte d'Ivoire. The objective of the introduction of these species, is to rehabilitate degraded grounds and fallow after growing. The study aims at appreciating the impact of Acacia species on floristic diversity and the regeneration of forest species. For collecting data, we use quadrat method (35 x 50 m and 6 x 6 m).This method permitted the inventory of 212 species on 1.05 ha. Among these species, 1.89 % are Ivorian endemic species and 11.32 % are endemic of West African flora. The flora under the different species of Acacia are relatively diversified and dense. The majority of plant inventoried under Acacia species have small diameters. The highest specific richness average per plots (36 m2) were noted in the 11 years old parcels of Acacia mangium (26.20±2.34) and 27 years old parcels of Acacia auriculaeformis (25.40±2.34) and Acacia crassicarpa (30.60±2.34). The mean values of diameters (dbh ≥ 2.5 cm) fluctuate from 2.94±0.56 cm for the 8 years old stands of Acacia mangium to 8.09±0.56 cm for the 27 years old settlements of Acacia crassicarpa. The results show that leguminous trees can be used for recolonization of the deforested areas in order to rebuild quickly their plant biodiversity.
