Abstract
The erosion of drains is a major limitation of the quality, the increasing of banana production and the environmental protection of industrial banana in Côte d'Ivoire. It leads inundations, death of banana trees and significant loss of production. Thence, the construction and the maintenance of drain costs too much and causes injure, snake bite, physical traumatisms, many diseases, … These events compromise the sustainable production of banana by reducing seriously worker’s the activities and finally increase the cost of production. The aim of the present work is to contribute to the sustainable development and human capacity building in the third world nations as far as banana production is concerned. The methods used so far to address this phenomenon proved inefficient. The technology innovation in this area has been to grow grass on the outer edges of the channels drained water. This resulted in a systematic reduction of erosion. Better still, it helped fertilize the soil, reduce the deportations of fertilizer and improve the quality of landscape of the plantations. Stenotaphrum secondatum is the best vegetable specie adapted to the biological control against water erosion of drains.
Highlights
The studies took place in the south of Ivory Coast forest region in the department of Agneby and the outskirts of Abidjan district (Figure 1).The study on biological control against erosion of drains from the industrial banana plantations (Figure 1), dealsHow to cite this paper: Prosper, K.Y., Maxime, B.N.K., Marie-Solange, T., Ouattara, D. and N’guessan, E.K. (2016) Biological Control of Erosion of Banana Drains in Côte D’ivoire
This work is initiated by the Company of Bananas of Côte d’Ivoire (CDBCI), in his conquest of the required certification since 2006 and leads under the “Better Banana” Program (BBP) by The Rainforest
We get 16 basic plots of banana which is a Latin square design, 4 columns (4 blocks 3 boards of the same width) and 4 replicates (4 rows of 3 boards of the same length). 16 squares were divided into four treatments in a completely randomized design: T0: unprotected drains; T1: Drains protected by Cynodon dactylon; T2: Drains protected by Paspalum pensasicola and T3: Drains protected by Stenotaphrum
Summary
Southern countries, such as Côte d’Ivoire, rely on the quality of their products to increase their income in this new market To do this, it emphasizes research in sustainable land management and the fight against pollution of soil and water by fertilizers and other agrochemicals and erosion of drains [2] [3]. Thence, the construction and the maintenance of drain costs too much and causes injure, snake bite, physical traumatisms, many diseases in the low grown the tropical area, like Nieky valley in Côte d’Ivoire where the studies toot place [4] For these reason, soil erosion is a major problem in banana production system around the world partially in Côte d’Ivoire. After a systemic approach to the problem of drainage systems of industrial banana, through sampling, and health economic study of the activity of drainage plantations [4], we proceed here in the implementation and evaluation of a biological control method against water erosion of drains
