“…According to a recent survey, adults with low literacy levels mostly engage in cereal farming. This finding is consistent with a study by Compaore et al (2019) on the rice-growing lowlands of Dano in southern Burkina Faso, where they found that 61% of the survey population was illiterate. Other authors have made similar observations regarding illiteracy in non-cereal crops (Lelamo et al 2023).…”

“…The lack of training for cereal farmers may be due to low funding for the food sector in favour of export crops. However, cereal farmers' illiteracy and lack of knowledge suggest a limited understanding of pesticide use instructions (Compaore et al 2019). Maize and sorghum are the two main cereals grown in terms of area.…”

“…Herbicide formulations contain highly toxic active molecules, and 80-90% of these active ingredients are transferred to the non-target environment during spraying (van der Werf 1997), leading to ecosystem degradation. Poor farming practices and noncompliance with pesticide use conditions have been identified (FAO 2002;Compaore et al 2019). The most common poor practices used by farmers include repeated treatments, overdosing, mixing of several pesticides when spraying, washing of sprayers at water points, use of unregistered or banned products, and poor management of empty containers (Gomgnimbou et al 2009;Tchamadeu et al 2017;Bayili et al 2019).…”

The use of pesticides often leads to environmental contamination above acceptable levels. The level of contamination is related to poor pesticide application practices, in addition to the properties of pesticides and soil characteristics. The primary objective of this study was to characterize herbicides and their application practices in cereal crops in the regions of Hauts-Bassins, Sud-Ouest, Cascades, and Boucle du Mouhoun in Burkina Faso. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect and extract data from 617 cereal farmers in the four regions. During the survey, the identified herbicides were characterized using pesticide property databases. The survey shows that most cereal farmers in the regions are illiterate (58.18%) and have not received any training in pesticide use (84.28%). Only a small percentage of farmers (1.3%) consult technical services for the selection of herbicides to be used. The survey also revealed that 60% of farmers leave empty herbicide containers in the wild, 39.93% use water sources to clean sprayers, and 17.83% use them to prepare the spray mixture. A total of 25 active ingredients were identified in 117 commercial herbicide products with a total use of 8100 litres and 280 kg. Of the listed herbicides, 45.37% were not approved by the Sahel Pesticide Committee (CSP). Among the non-approved herbicides, 27.78% contained paraquat, atrazine, and acetochlor, which the CSP bans. The study shows that farmers do not follow good practices when using herbicides, which can contaminate different environmental compartments and cause harmful effects to non-target organisms.

“…However, the uncontrolled use and dubious origin of phytosanitary products have been denounced by several studies in Benin [6] [7] [8]. The same observations have been made in the rice-growing lowlands of the Dano commune in Burkina Faso [9]. According to [5], 85% of cotton growers use higher doses of insecticides than those recommended.…”

The heavy use of chemicals, pesticides, cosmetics and plastic packaging coincides with a resurgence of cardiovascular disease, in particular hypertension, which is affecting younger and younger populations. The aim of this study was to analyze the cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive farmers compared with hypertensive non farmers. This was a prospective case-control study that included 239 hypertensive farmers and non farmers aged 25 to 65 with blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and 90 mmHg. Hypertensive farmers (101) represented 42.25% of the population versus hypertensive non farmers (138) 57.74%. The median ages were 47 ± 11.3 years for farmers and 51.45 ± 9.77 years for non farmers. Biochemical analysisand screening for major cardiovascular disease risk factors such as metabolic syndrome were performed. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the new definition of the International Diabetes Federation. Our results revealed higher blood glucose levels in farmers (47.77%) than in non farmers (27.20%) (p = 0.0132). Dyslipidemia was more frequent in non farmerswith high level of LDL cholesterol How to cite this paper: Sonounameto, F.,

La connaissance des propriétés physico-chimiques des sols est nécessaire pour l’agriculture durable visant à la fois l’accroissement des rendements agricoles et la préservation de la fertilité des sols. L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer les caractéristiques morphologiques et physico-chimiques des sols ferrugineux lessivés et bruns eutrophes du bas-fond de Goundi-Djoro, en vue d’améliorer les pratiques agricoles. Pour ce faire, des profils pédologiques ont été ouverts et décrits sur le terrain. Des échantillons de sols ont été prélevés et analysés au laboratoire. Les résultats montrent que 82% des sols ferrugineux ont une texture grossière, limono-sableuse. Ils sont peu profonds, avec une faible capacité de rétention en eau et de nombreux éléments grossiers. Par contre, les sols bruns sont profonds, avec une texture fine de types argileux (50%) et limonoargileux (37,5%). Leurs réserves en eau sont très élevées, entre 13,10% et 22,60%. Sur le plan chimique, les sols ferrugineux sont pauvres avec des pH très fortement acides (4,7), de faibles teneurs en éléments nutritifs et en bases échangeables. Tandis que, les sols bruns sont fertiles, avec des pH faiblement acides à neutres (6,62). La qualité des sols du site pourrait être améliorée par des amendements organiques et minéraux. English title: Characterization of leached tropical ferruginous soils and tropical eutrophic brown soils for agricultural use in the lowland of Goundi-Djoro (Burkina Faso)Knowledge of the physico-chemical properties of soils is necessary for sustainable agriculture aimed at both increasing agricultural yields and preserving soil fertility. The objective of this study was to determine the morphological and physico-chemical characteristics of the leached ferruginous and brown eutrophic soils of the lowland of Goundi-Djoro, with a view to improving agricultural practices. To do this, soil profiles were opened and described in the field. Soil samples were taken and analyzed in the laboratory. The results show that 82% of ferruginous soils have a coarse, sandy-loamy texture. They are shallow, with low water holding capacity and many coarse elements. On the other hand, the brown soils are deep, with a fine texture of clayey (50%) and silty-clayey (37.5%) types. Their water reserves are very high, between 13.10% and 22.60%. From a chemical point of view, ferruginous soils are poor with very strongly acidic pH (4.7), low levels of nutrients and exchangeable bases. While, brown soils are fertile, with weakly acidic to neutral pH (6.62). The quality of the site's soils could be improved by organic and mineral amendments.
