En Côte d’Ivoire, les pressions exercées sur les terres agricoles ont réduit la durée des jachères naturelles dominées par une végétation herbacée et dont la présence constitue une opportunité pour l’amélioration de la fertilité azotée des sols et la reconstitution minérale des sols dégradés. Pour cette étude, un inventaire floristique des légumineuses herbacées spontanées les plus répandues dans les jachères en constitution ont été effectuées suivie de la caractérisation physicochimique des échantillons du sol sous ces légumineuses ou non (témoin). Au total 6 espèces appartenant à deux familles (Fabaceae et Mimosaceae) et quatre genres (Calopogonium, Centrosema, Crotalaria et Pueraria) ont été inventoriées. Toutes ces espèces sont des Phanérophytes constitués majoritairement de lianes (83%) contre une minorité d’herbacées (17%). Le rapport C/N a varié de 09,5 à 12,8, demeurant ainsi dans la norme (9-12). Les sols prélevés sont quasi riches en matière organique (>1,30 g kg-1) à l’exception de celui recueilli sous Mimosa invisa (1,18±1,1g kg-1). La matière organique intervient dans les mécanismes de la libération de l’azote minéral, donc de la nutrition de la culture associée. Elle influe selon sa nature sur les propriétés physico-chimiques et biologiques du sol et a la capacité d’emmagasiner les réserves en eau.Mots clés : jachères naturelles, légumineuses subligneuses, inventaire, fertilisation, Côte d’Ivoire English title: Effects of six most common spontaneous legumes in natural fallows on soil fertility in the region of Daloa (Côte d’Ivoire)In Côte d'Ivoire, pressures on agricultural land have reduced the duration of natural fallows dominated by herbaceous vegetation and whose presence constitutes an opportunity for improving the nitrogen fertility of soils and the mineral replenishment of degraded soils. For this study, a floristic inventory of the most recurrent spontaneous herbaceous legumes colonizing these fallows in constitution was carried out followed by the physicochemical characterization of the soil samples under these legumes or not (control). A total of six species belonging to two families (Fabaceae and Mimosaceae) and four genera (Calopogonium, Centrosema, Crotalaria and Pueraria) were inventoried. All these species are Phanerophytes made up mainly of lianas (83%) against a minority of herbs (17%). The C / N ratio varied from 09.5 to 12.8, thus remaining within the norm (9-12). The soils sampled are almost rich in organic matter (> 1.30 g kg-1) with the exception of that collected under Mimosa invisa (1.18 ± 1.1 g kg-1). Organic matter is involved in the mechanisms of the release of mineral nitrogen, and therefore of the nutrition of the associated crop. Depending on its nature, it influences the physicochemical and biological properties of the soil and has the capacity to store water reserves.Keywords: Natural fallows, sublimers legumes, inventory, fertilization, Côte d’Ivoire.

The cocoa tree, the mainexport crop in Côte d'Ivoire is frequently attacked by a disease: brown pod rot, caused by Phytophthora spp. which causes a considerable drop in production. This soil-borne pathogen attacks on so-called weeds when environmental conditions are favourable. The presence of these susceptible weed hosts can amplify this scourge of brown rot by transmitting the pathogen to the crop plant. In order to improve the yield of this crop, a study was conducted in the Nawa region to identify the weed hosts through the characterization of the pathogen. This study consisted first in the inventory of susceptible host weeds of Phytophthora spp. and second in the morphological characterization of the pathogen. Concerning the host weeds inventory we procceeded determining all symptomatic weeds located within 3 m of the cocoa plants affected by brown rot. We identified 48 susceptible host species, divided into 41 genera and 22 families and we observed brown spots on the leaves of Oplismenus burmannii and Laportea aestuans; on the leaves of Clerodendrum splendens and Xanthosoma mafaffa, brown necroses surrounded by a yellow halo were noticed. Oily brown spots were examined on the leaves of Ageratum conyzoides. On the proximal, lateral and distal parts of the pods symptoms of brown spots covered with whitish mycelia were observed. Phytophthora strains obtained from the pods and weeds on PDA culture medium were characterized by matted, white mycelial colonies with a cottony appearance. Microscopic features revealed the presence of sporocysts, oospores and chlamydospores of different shapes.

1 RESUME Une étude sur la fertilisation minérale et organique liquide a été conduite sur la tomate en petite saison de pluie au Sud et au Centre-Ouest de la Côte d’Ivoire sur deux années, afin d’améliorer la fertilité du sol et le rendement de la tomate. De manière spécifique, il s’agissait d’évaluer les effets des traitements de quatre doses d’engrais organique liquide associées ou non à l’engrais minéral sur la teneur du sol en matière organique, le rapport C/N et le rendement. Le dispositif expérimental était un split-plot avec quatre répétitions ayant pour facteur principal, l’engrais minéral et le facteur secondaire, l’engrais organique à quatre doses (Lha-1) : C0 = 0 (témoin), C1 = 2,5; C2 = 3,75 et C3 = 5. Les résultats ont montré que le traitement T10 (50 % engrais minéral + 3,75 Lha-1 engrais organique) a amélioré la teneur du sol en matière organique, et le rendement. Cependant, le traitement avec 3,75 Lha-1 d’engrais organique utilisée seule a amélioré le rapport C/N du sol. Effects of liquid organic (NPK 5-9-18) and mineral (NPK 12-11-18) fertilizers on soil organic matter of and tomato yield in the South and the Mid-west of Ivory Coast ABSTRACT A study on the mineral and liquid organics fertilizations was conducted on tomato during short rainy season in South and Central West regions of Ivory Coast over two years to improve soil fertility and tomato yield. Specifically, the treatment effects of four doses of organic fertilizer, associated or not with the mineral fertilizer on the content of the soil organic matter, the C/N ratio and the yield. The experimental design was split-plot, with four repetitions having as principal factor, the mineral fertilizer and the secondary factor, the organic fertilizer in four doses (L ha-1): C0 = 0 (control); C1 = 2.5; C2 = 3.75 and C3 = 5. The results showed that the treatment T10 (50 % mineral fertilizer + 3.75 Lha-1 of the organic fertilizer), better improved the content of the soil organic matter and the yield. However, the treatment with 3.75 L ha-1 of organic fertilizer used alone has increased advantage the report C/N of the ground.
