Very popular for its therapeutic and nutritional virtues, culture of carrot (Daucus carota) has developed in temperate zones of Asia and Europe but also in some tropical regions of Africa including Côte d'Ivoire. Agronomic factors, commercial and food requirements require selection of varieties with good nutritional values. In this study, physicochemical properties and nutritional values of four carrot varieties namely Amazonia, Bahia, Madona and Pamela+ were compared after cultivation and harvest in region of Korhogo. Results showed that, Amazonia, the control carrot variety stands out for its acidity and minerals levels. Bahia is the richest variety with high levels of carbohydrate and protein. Madona is the most basic, wettest and fatest carrot. For a long storage, Pamela is most interesting variety. To our knowledge, it is the first time that physicochemical and nutritional parameters of carrot varieties in region of Korhogo have been studied. Future research on these carrot varieties will be studied of their post-harvest conservation, their sensory analysis and their transformation.
Objective: Maize is a crop whose grains are involved in the diet of West African populations, and also in the food of the populations of the Korhogo region. However, the yield of this crop is still low in the region. The study was initiated to help increase maize production by assessing the effects of different types of mineral and organic fertilisers on maize yield. The study was conducted, for 6 months, on the experimental site of the University Peleforo Gon Coulibaly of Korhogo, located in the north of Côte d'Ivoire.
Climate change, poverty and food insecurity are generally leading ivorian producers to turn increasingly to crops that require less water and inputs to diversify their income. Among these crops we can cite sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) which, despite its nutritional and socio- economic importance, has its culture which faces a low performance of the available plant material and phytosanitary constraints which limit its productivity. Hence the interest of this work, which consisted in characterizing five sesame accessions on agronomic aspects and on their behavior in the face of the phytosanitaryconstraintsencountered in the study area. It was carried out on the experimental plot of Peleforo GON COULIBALY University in Korhogo. A randomized full block device with 4 repetitions was used. The factor studied was accession to 5 levels. The results of this work showed significant differences between the accessions for the various agronomic parameters observed and measured. The A3 accession was the most branched and the A1 accession the highest. In addition, accessions A3 and A5 were the most efficient in terms of grain yield (3987.4 kg / ha) while accessions A4 and A1 were the most sensitive to variousfungalattacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
