Ethnobotanique quantitative de l'usage de Chrysophyllum albidum G. Don par les populations locales au Bénin.

Physico-Chemical Characterizations and Fuel Potential Assessment of &lt;i&gt;Chrysophyllum albidum&lt;/i&gt; Fruits from Benin

“…The analysis of these results shows that the fruits of Chrysophyllum albidum have an average mass of 43.79 ± 3.15g. This result is inferior to that reported by Lougbégnon et al [18] on samples of Chrysophyllum albidum collected in coastal areas, Pobè, Plateau and in the Ouémé Valley (South Benin). This difference observed at the mass level could be due to the characteristics of the Study Zones.…”

“…These differences observed at the level of size may also be relating to soil characteristics, pluviometry, soil pH, and even the various stresses on the tree. These results are also in agreement with those obtained during the determination of the equator diameter of the fruits of Chrysophyllum albidum (Table 1), which also indicate a significant difference between the values obtained and collected referenced in the literature [18]. These results therefore show that agroecological factors significantly influence the physical characteristics of Chrysophyllum albidum fruits.…”

“…Indeed, the analysis of the results in Table 1 shows that the average fruit size of Chrysophyllum albidum is 4.87 ± 2.97 mm. This value is greater than that obtained for the same plant species harvested respectively at Pobè and Plateau [18]. However, she is lower than that obtained in the coastal zones and in the Ouémé valley (south Benin) [18].…”

Variabilité des utilisations de Diospyros mespiliformis Hochst. suivant les facteurs sociodémographiques au Nord-Bénin

“…Durant ces dernières années, au Bénin, de nombreuses études ont été effectuées concernant les diverses contributions que peuvent apporter les fruitiers sauvages. C'est le cas, par exemple, de leur participation dans l'alimentation des populations locales (Lougbegnon et al, 2015 ;Akouehou et al, 2014 ;Fandohan et al, 2010), la diversité de leurs produits (Assogbadjo et al, 2009 ;Codjia et al, 2003), la diversité des usages et l'importance socioculturelle et socio-économique de leurs différents constituants (Gouwakinnou et al, 2011 ;Koura et al, 2011 ;Ekué et al, 2010 ;Fandohan et al, 2010 ;Vodouhê et al, 2009). Toutefois, très peu d'études ont été consacrées à Diospyros mespiliformis Hochst.…”
