Identification and molecular characterization of Caryedon furcatus (Anton & Delobel), the main pest of Senegalia macrostachya (Reichenb. ex DC. Kyal & Boatwr) seeds in storage in Burkina Faso
In Burkina Faso, seeds of Senegalia macrostachya (Rchb. Ex DC.) Kyal. & Boatwr. during storage are attacked by a pest morphologically identified as Caryedon mauritanicus Auct. It was described for the first time in 2004 under a new name 'Caryedon furcatus' by Anton and Delobel. Thus, C. mauritanicus is now considered to be C. furcatus. In the present study, for the first time, genetic characterization of C....

Estimates of genetic parameters and agronomic performance of spider plant (Cleome gynandra) in three climatic zones of Burkina Faso
Cleome gynandra L. is one of the leafy vegetables traditionally appreciated in the human diet, with interesting nutritional and therapeutic values. Its cultivation generates substantial income for market gardeners. To make the most of this important resource in the country's different climatic zones, we need to know more about its agronomorphological performance and estimate its genetic parameters. The aim of the...

Morphological, biochemical and sensory characterization of some cocoa genotypes (Theobroma cacao L.) grown in Cameroon
Cameroon’s cocoa is derived from a wide variety of genetic material. These genotypes are not adequately classified in terms of the quality of cocoa produced. The aim of this study was to help improve cocoa quality by selecting genotypes with organoleptic properties. An assessment was conducted on the agro-morphological, biochemical and sensory characteristics of traditional 'German cacao' genotypes (GR and...

Zootechnical characteristics and ovarian potential of Kouri cows slaughtered in the Lake Chad Region
The present study was conducted on the zootechnical characterization and ovarian potential of Kouri cows slaughtered in four slaughterhouses in the Lake Chad region. For this purpose, a total of 100 cycled cows and 20 pregnant cows were used. Before each cow was slaughtered, its age, weight and body condition score were determined. At the slaughterhouse, the ovaries were removed and transported in a portable cooler at...
