Weed competition is a major constraint to lowland rice production in West Africa. Interspecific rice varieties named New Rice for Africa (NERICA) may have superior weed competitiveness and could as such play an important role in integrated weed management. The NERICA varieties were developed from the wide cross between high-yielding Oryza sativa (L.) and weed competitive and disease resilient Oryza glaberrima (Steud.). In this study weed competitiveness of all 60 lowland varieties of NERICA (NERICA- ...

A study was carried out in the Lama forest reserve of Benin to characterize the habitat of Afzelia africana Sm., an endangered multipurpose tree species (found in African humid, dry forests and woodlands), in order to define a sustainable management strategy for its conservation. An estimation of species density was done on 100 square plots of 1 ha each, while tree height and dbh of all the species were measured on subplots of 50 m × 30 m within the 1 ha plots. The regenerations of A. africana (dbh < ...

This study evaluates the spatial genetic structure of baobab (Adansonia digitata) populations from West African agroforestry systems at different geographical scales using AFLP fingerprints. Eleven populations from four countries (Benin, Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Senegal) had comparable levels of genetic diversity, although the two populations in the extreme west (Senegal) had less diversity. Pairwise F(ST) ranged from 0.02 to 0.28 and increased with geographic distance, even at a regional scale. Gene ...

Abstract The present study focused on the analysis of the structure of the Anogeissus leiocarpa dominated natural stands in the Wari‐Maro forest reserve which are under high and minimal anthropogenic pressures. These stands were considered for forest inventories after carrying out a random sampling scheme of 40 sample units of 30 m × 50 m. In each level pressure stand, the dbh and tree‐height of identified tree‐species were measured in each plot. Data analyses were based on the computation of structural ...

An tree-inventory of Isoberlinia natural mixed stands was carried out in the tree-savannas and woodlands of the Wari–Maro Forest Reserve (Republic of Benin) to serve as basis to improve existing management strategies. Measurements were done in 96 rectangular plots of 30 × 50 m with a cumulative area of 14.4 ha. The two vegetation types were mainly distinguished by the overall tree-density (225.2 stems/ha in tree-savannah against 202.8 stems/ha in woodland), the overall mean height of the stands (13.1 ...

We compared the viability of tamarind (Tamarindus indica) populations, a dry land species that has nutritional, medicinal and cultural importance for rural communities, under different human-pressure levels. Materials and methods. The data relative to the tree diameter and height as well as the number of adults and stems were ...

In the absence of effective conservation of its wild relatives, exploitation of a species could lead to genetic depletion. Research on how well do protected areas contribute to the conservation of plant species subject to human exploitation is still limited. The potential niche of Tamarindus indica (tamarind) was evaluated and the contribution of the protected areas network (PAN) of Benin to its conservation was assessed. The maximum entropy approach was used to model the ecological niche of the species, ...
