“…D. microcarpum is classified as a major African medicinal plant. The roots, stems, bark, leaves and fruits are all used to treat ailments such as tuberculosis, meningitis, itching, syphilis and diarrhea (Arbonnier 2000, Abreu and Relva 2002, Kouyaté and van Damme 2006, Vautier et al 2007). Isolation of terpenoids and anti-HIV flavans from D. microcarpum extracts have been reported (Abreu and Relva 2002).…”

Detarium microcarpum is a valuable tree species for fuelwood, timber, food and medicine in sub-Saharan Africa. However, its population is dwindling due to overexploitation, its seedlings' low survival rate and slow growth. Vegetative propagation might enhance both survival and growth, but to date a successful clonal method does not exist for D. microcarpum. We conducted four experiments to examine the effects of propagation environment (high versus low humidity), cutting length and diameter, alignment of root segments (horizontal versus vertical) and distance from the root collar of donors on the regeneration ability of root segments collected from field-grown D. microcarpum trees in Burkina Faso. The size of root segments significantly affected their regeneration ability, while alignment had no effect. Sprouting was possible from 10 and 20-cm long segments of 15-60 mm diameter with 7-43% sprouting efficiency and multiple shoots while 5 cm long segments were unsuitable with 0-3% sprouting efficiency. Cuttings maintained at low humidity produced larger diameter sprouts than those in greenhouse. All cuttings showed strong polarity with most of the shoots developing at the proximal end. Rootlings from 20 cm root segments produced more new roots (0.62 ± 0.08 g) than those from 10 cm segments (0.34 ± 0.09 g), but they were similar for sprout and leaf growth. We conclude that lateral roots of field-grown mature trees can be used to produce rootlings in a nursery. Since this study is the first attempt to propagate D. microcarpum from root cuttings, further investigations are required to optimize the technique.

“…En médecine traditionnelle, l'espèce est valorisée dans le traitement de nombreuses maladies (Doulougou, 2002). Les feuilles entrent dans le traitement de la diarrhée, de la syphilis et de la dysenterie alors que les fruits sont utilisés pour le traitement de la méningite, l'écorce contre le rhumatisme et la diarrhée tandis que les racines soignent la tuberculose et les démangeaisons cutanées (Abreu et Relva, 2002 ;Vautier et al, 2007).…”

Detarium microcarpum (Caesalpiniaceae) is a West African economic significant priority fruit tree species. In Benin, the species is overexploited in many ecological regions, while very little research focuses on its viability and conservation of its genetic diversity. In the perspective of the biodiversity sustainable use, this work aimed at determining the use value of different organs and its impact on the species' vulnerability. Thus, 202 respondents were surveyed and information regarding utilization of the different organs were collected. Data were used to evaluate each organ's utilization frequency and the vulnerability index for the species. Results indicated that locals use D. microcarpum in food, medicine, handcrafting and spiritual applications. It is also valued as fire and technological wood as well as like animal forage. The utilization frequency varies between 2.5 (for the fruits) and 83.20% (for the wood). This intensive wood utilization explains the high vulnerability: 2.67. Only administratively preserved and sacred forests still harbour adult individuals. It is, therefore, urgent to include these vulnerability data in any management strategy for a better use and conservation for D. microcarpum.
