Utilisation des pesticides en cultures maraîchères sur l’île d’Idjwi à l’est de la République démocratique du Congo : connaissances et pratiques des agriculteurs

Abstract: Une enquête a été réalisée sur l’île d’Idjwi, à l’est de la République démocratique du Congo, pour évaluer les pratiques phytosanitaires actuelles et les risques perçus par les agriculteurs. Les maraîchers, constitués en majorité de femmes (68 %) utilisent en cultures de tomate, de choux et d’aubergine, une diversité de fongicides, souvent en combinaison (43 %) avec des insecticides tels que la cyperméthrine. Le choix de ces pesticides est principalement déterminé par la perception de leur efficacité par les m… Show more

“…Farmers prefer these crops due to their short production cycle and high demand in the local market. Previous research conducted in farming communities in eastern DRC and Cameroon showed that male gardeners tend to grow market-demanded crops such as tomatoes and pineapple, while women mainly cultivate amaranth, cabbage, and eggplants (Balasha & Weremubi, et al, 2022; Chuma et al, 2022; Okolle et al, 2016). However, these crops face pest attacks, reducing production and market value.…”

“…First, the number of participants is relatively small. As many farmers are shifting to vegetable production in the study area due to profitability and the short growing cycle (Balasha & Aganze, et al, 2022), it will be interesting to interview more farmers during another cropping season to produce more accurate information and reduce the variability of the estimates, as observed, for example, in the binary logit model, examining the determinants of wearing protective equipment (see Appendix A). Doing so will help provide generalizable and relevant recommendations to policymakers, researchers, and farmer organizations, who need to work in partnership on pathways to sustainability in agriculture.…”
