“…Le paillage et l'enfouissement des résidus de bananier non transformés ont amélioré significativement les rendements en maïs par rapport à leur ramassage ou leur brûlage. Ces résultats confirment les effets positifs des restitutions organiques rapportés par plusieurs auteurs (Lekasi et al, 2001 ;Djenontin et al, 2003 ;Koulibaly et al, 2010b ;Guto et al, 2012 ;Macon et al, 2014 ;Roose, 2017). Cependant, ils ne corroborent pas ceux de Kimani et al (2007) qui ont montré que l'apport de résidus de maïs n'a pas eu un effet significatif sur les rendements du maïs à la première saison.…”

Au Burkina Faso, le recyclage des résidus de culture constitue un défi pour l’amélioration de la productivité des systèmes de production agricole. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer les effets de la gestion des résidus du bananier (Musa acuminata C.) et de la fumure minérale sur les caractéristiques chimiques du sol et le rendement du maïs (Zea mays L.). Un essai en split-plot avec quatre répétitions comparant quatre modes de gestion des résidus du bananier et quatre options de fumure minérale a été conduit en culture pluviale et en culture irriguée. Les rendements grains du maïs ont augmenté de 24 à 66,2% avec le paillage et l’enfouissement de résidus par rapport au brûlage et au ramassage. Le pH, le carbone total, l’azote total et le potassium disponible du sol ont été améliorés par le paillage, l’enfouissement et le brûlage des résidus comparativement au ramassage. L’utilisation combinée des résidus et des engrais a permis un accroissement significatif des rendements. Cependant, elle a induit une baisse du pH et du potassium total du sol comparativement au témoin. L’étude a montré l’intérêt du paillage et de l’enfouissement des résidus du bananier combiné avec la fumure azotée pour améliorer les rendements de maïs. English title: The effects of banana tree residues managements and mineral fertilizers use options on soil chemical properties and maize yield in a banana tree / maize rotation system in western Burkina Faso In Burkina Faso, the recycling of crop residues for improving the productivity of cropping systems is still a challenge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the management of banana tree (Musa acuminata C.) residues and mineral fertilizers on both soil chemical characteristics and the yield of maize (Zea mays L.). A split-plot trial with four repetitions comparing four management types of banana tree residues (mulching, burying, burning and exporting) and four application options of mineral fertilizers was conducted in rain-fed and irrigated cropping systems. The results revealed that the maize grain yield increased by 24 to 66.2% with mulching and burying residues (green manure) compared to burning or exporting the banana tree residues. Soil pH, total carbon and nitrogen as well as available potassium were improved by the mulching, burying and burning compared to exporting the banana tree residues. The combined use of the residues and mineral fertilizers significantly improved the maize yield. However, it caused a decrease in the soil pH and total potassium compared to the control treatment. The study demonstrated that mulching and burying banana tree residues in combination with mineral fertilizer improves maize yield.

“…Organic mulch can perform all the function which is done by other mulches also except early season soil warming. Lekasi et al (2001) [14] states that management practices was done in cabbage crop in both seasons followed the order of fertilized + weeded > banana mulched + weeded > plastic mulch > weeded > banana mulched > un-mulched + un-weeded gave results that when hand weeding gave yield increased by 9.3 tones/ha (fresh weight), when banana mulch and hand weeding increasing the yield up to 12.5 tones/ha. When banana mulch is used then the earthworm population increases leads to no reduction in the weed control and not helps in conserving soil moisture.…”

Mulching is ancient technique which is used to conserve soil moisture, helps in reducing weed growth, moderate soil temperature and reduce salinity. This technique act as a boon for the agriculture and horticulture crops not only for increasing the growth and yield but also act as a method to conserve soil and water. This technique helps in protecting the roots of the plants from heat and cold. It is mainly used in fruit orchard, flower, vegetable production, nurseries and forest. Black plastic mulch is mostly used in agriculture whereas the transparent or clear plastic mulch is used in some areas to increased soil warming characteristics. Some Research has revels that white or aluminum reflective mulch helps to repels aphids which are spread through virus diseases in vine crops such as squash. It is act as boon increasing horticultural crop production in dry lands.

“…Plant residues of rice straw, canola, lupine, sunflower, sugarcane, banana stem, waste of some vegetables like turnip, garlic, sawdust, and others can be used as natural mulching materials, whereas synthetic mulch such as plastic, geotextile materials, or magazine paper. Application of mulch increased the beets and cabbage yields by 135 and 124%, respectively (Lekasi et al 2001).…”

Background: Mulching and manual or mechanical hoeing are the backbone of weed control strategies in organic agriculture. So, two field experiments were established in the village of Kafer El-Khawazim, Talkha district, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, during the winter seasons of 2017 and 2018. The experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the safe weed control methods of mulching and manual hoeing in comparison with metribuzine herbicide on potato plants and associated weeds. Results: The results indicated that the treatment of black plastic mulch was the superior treatment in controlling broadleaved, grassy, and total weeds as compared to other treatments under study. Metribuzin herbicide came in the second rank in controlling broadleaved weeds. Concerning to grassy and total weeds, banana leaf and cheeseweed straw mulches follow the black plastic mulch ideal treatment. The results also revealed that the use of black plastic mulch and banana leaf mulch followed by cheeseweed straw mulch led to the highest significant increase in growth characteristics and tuber yield of potato plants. This in turn correlated with a significant increase in tuber contents of phosphorus, potassium, and carbohydrate percentage than unweeded control treatment. Conclusion: Black plastic mulch followed by banana leaf mulch and cheeseweed straw mulch were the ideal safe treatments in controlling total weeds. This in turn reflected on potato plants by scoring the maximum values of yield characters as compared to unweeded check.
