“…In fact, the weeds kept preserved in the cashew orchards are used most often for food (42.39%), traditional medicine (34.78%) and minor uses. Touré et al (2018) found similar results in central-eastern Côte d'Ivoire. More awareness among the cashew farmers about other services provided by plants could lead to the maintenance of more biodiversity in cashew orchards.…”

“…The other uses of some weeds in the study area are not similar to those other areas. Thus, Tra Bi (1997) and Touré et al (2018) mentioned that the trunk of Nesogordonia papaverifera was used for making pestle and mortar, and as a framework among the populations of central-western and western Côte d'Ivoire.…”

“…Indeed, many species were harvested from these biotopes by communities for several purposes. Touré et al (2018) have shown that the riparian communities of the Sanaimbo forest reserve, in the south Côte d'Ivoire, knew and maintained the weed species used as traditional medicine, food, house construction and basketry material in their fields. For the cashew (A. occidentale L.) few is known about both on the diversity and the use of the associated weed species by farmers.…”

“…This study was conducted in 108 cashew farms (Figure 2, Table 1) encompassing three villages in each region of Bounkani and Gontougo, and six villages in each region of Kabadougou and Marahoué. In each village, six cashew orchards were visited, and a semi-direct questionnaire (Appendix) proposed by Touré et al (2018) was used to interview the owner of each visited farm.…”

Background: Weeds are always seen as pests and are continuously destroyed by farmers due to their impacts on crop production. But like many other plants, some have several virtues. This work aims to determine the uses of weed plants by cashew farmers in three 4 regions of Côte d'Ivoire.Methods: In each region, an ethnobotanical survey using semi-direct interviews with 108 cashew producers let to identify the weeds of cashew orchards used by farmers and to highlight their uses.Results: In total, 73 weeds were cited by farmers as useful for various uses, thus justifying their maintenance in their orchards. Five categories of uses of these weeds have been recorded, of which food weeds represent 42.39%. Weeds used in traditional medicine represent 34.78% while those used as fodder and in handicrafts represent 8.69% each; 5.34% of these weeds are used in other areas. The most used organs are fruits and leaves with a rate of 39% each. Conclusion:These uses of weeds should induce a new consideration of these plants by farmers who could implement the cashew orchards in Côte d'Ivoire as an agroforestry systems.

“…Par ailleurs, l'abondance des espèces rudérales parmi les plantes recensées s'expliquerait par leur capacité d'adaptation à un environnement colonisé par l'Homme. Les praticiens de la médecine traditionnelle n'ont donc pas toujours besoin de s'éloigner de leur lieu d'habitation pour récolter les plantes médicinales (Touré, 2018).…”

Dans le but de contribuer à la sauvegarde des savoirs médicaux ancestraux et à la valorisation de la médecine traditionnelle, cent vingt tradipraticiens du département de Gagnoa ont été soumis à des entretiens semi-structurés portant sur les procédés nomenclaturaux des plantes médicinales employées dans le traitement des troubles gastroentérologiques. Ainsi, cinquante et une plantes médicinales ont été inventoriées et reparties en 47 genres et 24 familles d’Angiospermes avec une prépondérance des Fabaceae et des Lamiaceae regroupant chacune 13,73% des espèces recensées. Ces plantes portent des appellations en langues locales ivoiriennes. Quarante-cinq espèces portent des noms en langue autochtone Bété représentant 88,24% des espèces recensées. Seulement neuf d’entre elles sont désignées par des noms ayant un sens. Leurs significations se rapportent soit à leur milieu de vie, soit à leur utilité ou à leur aspect ou encore font référence à des animaux. Cette étude revêt un intérêt pour les pays africains, en particulier la Côte d’Ivoire où le savoir ancestral se perd au fil du temps avec l’abandon d’un certain nombre de valeurs culturelles. order to contribute to the preservation of ancestral medical knowledge and the promotion of traditional medicine, one hundred and twenty tradipraticians of the department of Gagnoa were subjected to semantic interviews structured on the nomenclatural processes of medicinal plants used in the treatment of gastroenterological disorders. Thus, fifty-one medicinal plants were inventoried and divided into 47 genera and 24 families of Angiosperms with a preponderance of Fabaceae and Lamiaceae, each comprising 13.73% of the species surveyed. These plants have names in local Ivorian languages. Forty-five species have native Bété names representing 88.24% of the species surveyed. Only nine are referred to as names with meaning. Their meanings refer either to their environment, their usefulness or their appearance, or to animals. This study is of interest to African countries, in particular Côte d'Ivoire, where traditional knowledge is lost over time with the abandonment of certain cultural values

Societal Impact StatementPlants and agricultural practices are an integral part of human food systems and well‐being. Here, an example of an ethnobotanical research approach is provided to increase our understanding of the relationship between plants and human activities in Madagascar, where the agricultural sector is the local economy basis. This research examines weeds of the Poaceae family, assessing their recognition and societal impacts, and quantifying farmers' perception of the Poaceae weed's status in cropping systems. A better understanding of farmers' weed knowledge will strengthen our ability to inclusively support rural highland Malagasy food systems, incorporating science with traditional knowledge.Summary Research on the perceptions and knowledge of Poaceae weeds was conducted in three areas of Madagascar's central highlands: Itremo massif, Ambohidray village and Vakinankaratra region. This work aims to identify the best‐known species and understand their roles in crop and livestock systems. Additionally, it presents detailed data on Digitaria species. The approach was based on field surveys and farmer's interviews, with plant voucher specimens and photographs to facilitate identification. Relative frequency of citations, confidence interval, and use values indexes were calculated to assess cultural significance. We carried out 111 interviews, where 87 taxa were mentioned, of which 51 are Poaceae, including 11 Digitaria species. Farmers classify the Poaceae weeds in three ways: their impacts on agricultural activities, use category and vegetative growth patterns, the latter especially significant for Digitaria. Locally common grasses are perceived as weeds when they are abundant and cause yield loss. The most damaging species is Digitaria humbertii, confirmed by half of the interviews. More than 40% of the farmers use Poaceae weeds in composting, more than 20% as fodder, and more than 8% as medicine. Overall, 67% of the species mentioned are judged useful. The diversity of useful species and the associated indigenous knowledge is important to the local communities, but, weeds are still perceived as negative generally. The Poaceae are overall neglected in Malagasy ethnobotany, and an in‐depth analysis of farmer knowledge is needed. The data obtained will be useful for future studies and the conservation of agrobiodiversity, especially endemic species that are not widely known.
