Type: article
Abstract: This study evaluated the effects of Integrated Soil Fertility Management Systems (ISFM) on physico-chemical and agronomic parameters of cassava to improve the quality of cassava derivatives.Experiments were conducted in a cassava plantation of National Center of Agronomic Research site in Adiopodoumé-Km 17, in the district of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire).The main factor is soil fertilization: poultry manure at 5; 10 and 15t/ha and intercropping of the cowpea legume (Vigna unguiculata L.) at densities of 62 000; 125 000 and 250 000 plants / ha.The second factor is the variety of cassava cultivated: improved varieties Yavo and Bocou 1 and local variety Yacé.ISFM treatments had a significant benefit effect on the physicochemical characteristics of cassava roots.In fact, Cowpea increases in Yavo, dry matter contents, ash, starch extraction rate, reducing sugars and totals respectively of 36.83;193.72; 16.25; 57.94 and 6.96% and reduces lipid levels by 54.09%.It leads BoCou 1 an increase in dry matter content (36.83%) and total sugars (4.53%).Its action on Yacé causes an increase in the contents of dry matter (38.12%), lipids (160.24%),ash (58.01%), starch extraction rate (17.84%) and total sugars (13.25%).For poultry manure, Yavo increased dry matter (10.62%), fat (2.09%), reducing sugars (0.84%) and ash (2.87%).The poultry manure increase in Yavo content of dry matter (35.55%), lipid (114.21%),ash (128.69%) and Effect of Soil Organic… Allou Couhoulé Serge et al. 81 JCBPS; Section B; November 2020 -January 2021, Vol.11, No. 1; O80-090.
